BIOGRAPHIE

Guillermo G. Peydró (Madrid, 1981) is a filmmaker, video artist and film programmer. He has been an External Advisor at the Modern Art Museum of Mexico, and also a film programmer for the Punto de Vista and Documenta Madrid film festivals. He studied Filmmaking in Madrid, completed with a specialization in Film Studies (Brookes University, Oxford), and had his Ph.D. in Art History with a thesis on the critical dialogue between cinema and the visual arts. His audiovisual work explores the aesthetical and political implications of visual arts (especially those created during the Spanish dictatorship), as well as the possibilities of expanding this research within the art space. His works have been screened in places such as the Louvre Museum, the Reina Sofía Museum or the Milano Triennale. Since 2016 he has conceived hybrid exhibitions of sculpture and video art with Corsican sculptor Jeanne de Petriconi, such as Passeghji (Musée de Bastia, 2018). In 2019 he published the book "The Film on Art" ("El cine sobre arte. De la dramatización de la pintura al cine-ensayo"), gathering a decade of researches on how filmmakers have dealt with filming the arts since the 1910s. http://www.guillermopeydro.com
