Miguel Llansó

A big fan of experimental-punk-weird music and films, Miguel Llansó studied philosophy and cinema before leaving on his many adventures, like Jean Rouch or Werner Herzog. For him, filmmaking is friendship, risk, provocation, subversion and freedom. Miguel has mainly filmed in Ethiopia, his second home. "Where is my dog?" and "Chigger Ale" - both made in collaboration with his friends Yohannes Feleke and Israel Seoane - were premiered at International Film Festival Rotterdam and Locarno and screened at BAFICI, Tampere, Hamburg and more than 50 international film festivals. Also Sundance, Milano, Brussels, Rio de Janeiro, Odense and many other film festivals have shown selections of his works. Crumbs (2015) - a post apocalyptic Afro-Futuristic adventure in Ethiopia - was Miguel's feature film debut, premiering at Rotterdam International Film festival and screened at Fantasia, Los Angeles Film Festival and more than 100 film festivals worldwide. Crumbs is represented by New Europe Film Sales and was released theatrically in the U.S. and Spain. Jesus Shows You the Way to the Highway (2019) - SciFi political satire shot between Ethiopia, Estonia, Latvia and Spain - is Miguel's second feature film, premiering at Fantasia and Neuchatel Fantastic Fest.
