Director Biography - Itandehuy Castañeda Demesa, Carolina Corral Paredes

Itandehuy Castañeda Demesa

Formed in the area of visual arts, her areas of creative development are photography, digital video and installations. When I entered the workplace I had my first contact with journalism and cinema, in both of them I found a way of being able to express in images what others could not, so I set about the task of researching, studying and getting involved with the audiovisual media , Which gave rise to some cinema minutes and two years ago the documentary La Batalla de las Cacerolas, made as a tribute to those women who have been fighting mega projects all their lives in Tepoztlán, Morelos, Mexico.
He is currently studying for a master's degree in Brazil since he has started a collaborative work of documentation of some indigenous peoples of that country.

In the street and with my groups I learned the use of audiovisual tools.
Today, I believe that I am an accountant of stories sensitive to people, through audiovisual devices independently and collectively
