Horacio Alcalá

He began his career at the age of 8 as an actor and at 14 he went on tour with the opera "La Bohéme", however what really interests him is the work behind the scenes. He worked for 5 years at TELEVISA before moving to Europe. In 2006 he shot his first short film as a director in France while studying at the Superior School of Dramatic Art in Strasbourg. That same year he joined the production team of Circo del Sol where he worked on several shows such as "Alegria", "Quidam" and "Corteo" where he worked for 7 years while shooting "A ras del cielo", a documentary that has toured international screens.

Horacio settled in Madrid in 2013 working as a director in different artistic projects focusing on visual arts and scenic narrative. His projects are inspired by the literary and pictorial movement of magical realism, where nature, the culture of different countries and the unusual play an important role. He looks for and creates characters that besides entertaining can bring something to the viewer, whether it is a teaching or a value. He gives importance to narrative through aesthetics.

In 2021 he released "Finlandia", his first fiction feature film, which received 3 Ariel nominations, Mexican Academy of Arts and Sciences; it was also nominated for the Goya Awards for Mexico. In early 2025 Horacio was part of the Advanced Training Film Directing National Film School Of Denmark.
