Cecilia Araneda

Chilean-Canadian filmmaker and curator Cecilia Araneda’s works have screened at festivals and venues such as Visions du Reél, Rotterdam, Ann Arbor, Jihlava, Uppsala, Festival du Nouveau Cinéma, Images and TIFF Wavelengths. Aesthetically, Araneda’s art practice is strongly rooted in the examination of private and public memory as it connects to identity, consciously working against the idea of the fully controlled image. Her family’s experience fleeing Chile’s military dictatorship also plays a large role in her body of work. Most well-known for her work in analogue film, Araneda works in experimental, documentary and fiction forms.
