Horacio Alcalá / Director

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 Ecole Supérieure d'Art Dramatique in Strasbourg. That same year he joined the production team of Cirque du Soleil where he worked on several shows such as "Alegria", "Quidam" and "Corteo" where he worked for 7 years while filming "A ras del cielo", a documentary that has toured international screens.

In 2021 he releases "Finlandia", his fiction debut.

Horacio settled in Madrid in 2013 working as a director in different artistic projects focusing on visual arts and scenic narrative. He is currently developing documentary projects for the European Union and United Nations through the Cross Border Cooperation and INTERREG projects.

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 in addition to entertain can bring something to the viewer either a teaching or a value. He gives importance to narrative through aesthetics.
