Irene Izquierdo

As a freelance animator, illustrator and filmmaker, I combine my passion for art and storytelling with my skills in documentary film-making. I have more than 12 years of experience in creating films and animations that explore topics such as anti-discrimination, culture, civic education and pedagogy. I also share my knowledge and expertise as a lecturer, project mentor, and workshop facilitator. I teach courses on documentary film-making, film ethics and support students with the development of their film projects. I also give workshops on non-violent communication and self-organization, empowering people to collaborate and communicate effectively. I hold a Master in Motion Graphics from LABASAD School of Arts and Design, an MFA in Public Art and New Artistic Strategies from Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, a Licentiate in Fine Arts from Universidad de Salamanca, and a certificate in Documentary Direction from filmArche.
