VICTORIA LINCHONG (USA, TWN)
Born in NYC, Victoria Linchong is a Taiwanese-American director, writer,
actor, and producer working in both theatre and film. Her documentary
ALMOST HOME: TAIWAN, in which the untold story of Taiwan's democracy is
revealed through a family road-trip, premiered at the Visions du Réel
Festival in Switzerland. For the past four years, she has produced,
directed, and hosted the Full Moon Cabaret, a monthly burlesque and
variety show based in Berlin that has performed at the Edinburgh Fringe
and the London VAULT Festival. Her work explores intersections and
overlaps: past and present, East and West, low brow and high brow. She is
currently the Community Producer of Target Margin Theater in NYC.

PABLO RAMíREZ and GRACIELA PEÑA’s (VZLA) artistic work is
interdisciplinary. They create fictive short films, musical videos,
documentaries about water and storytelling / oral tradition and the Andean
mythology. They have a holistic understanding of art and cultural
expression as a way for human change and exchange, making the construction
of new socio-cultural realities possible. Their 11-year-old daughter is
taught at home and she is already collaborating in the family's artistic
work. With great joy she took an active part in the audio-visual
production of Sueños de Alquimistas, their latest independent short film.
It narrates the story of the terrestrial woman Libertad who is looking for
methods to convert the energy that human bodies emanate while they are
enjoying music to take off in a space ship …
