DirectorProducerWriterExecutive Producer

Daniel is a Peruvian director, screenwriter, producer and writer, winner of the Montreal World Film Festival Jury Prize, among other awards. Although his most personal films, such as The Watercolorist, The Womb, Trilogía Muda and Quadrilateral, are characterized by bordering on the fantastic and being imbued with a mysterious quality that is disturbing, Daniel has also successfully ventured into a more popular cinema, such as in his films No Estamos Solos and Siete Semillas. He is currently working on the post-production of The Seamstress, a feature film he directed earlier this year.

Trilogía Muda

A current of thought unites the three episodes in a coherent way, embodied with few elements, and that makes of space, time, and movement, purely cinematographic modes of expression. Voice is not needed. Yes there are sounds, music, but not human voices, as in primitive cinema. There are faces, slow or fast movements, despair, fatality, a barely glimpsed horror, desire and fear of freedom. There is also love, perhaps as an illusion, rather than as a reality.
