BIO

Yago Alcover (Barcelona, ​​1984) is a filmmaker, teacher, researcher, and musician. He is currently developing his doctoral thesis at Pompeu Fabra 
University, focusing on research through contemporary analog film practices.

He has been a member of the Board of Directors of Crater-Lab since 2019, a laboratory for independent film creation, production, experimentation, 
and screening, self-managed by artists and filmmakers. Its goal is to promote the production of artisanal cinema on film, focusing on generating the 
material bases for creating and experimenting in all its processes (filming, developing, copying, animation, visual intervention, projection, etc.).

As a filmmaker, his work ranges from experimental practices in archives, cameraless film formats, research with artisanal emulsions, and, more recently,
 expanded cinema. He has made several short films and audiovisual pieces in collaboration with other artists from different fields. Some of her works 
are being distributed within the Hamaca catalogue, with whom she has also collaborated on a 16mm experimental film workshop entitled 'Revisiting the 
Territory: Obsolescent Aesthetics as Forms of Resistance' which addresses analogue film as a device that maintains a multitude of potentialities from 
various perspectives, both as a creative element, as a political tool and as a resistant device.
