About
Juan Francisco Montes
Filmmaker, founder and director of CriptoCine. His work connects independent cinema, territory and digital tools so a work can find community without surrendering its creative voice.
Cinema, archive and community.
Juan Francisco Montes directs and develops films from a practice that combines documentary observation, travel, memory and independent production. In CriptoCine he brings that experience to an operational question: how to open new paths to finance, circulate and preserve works without turning them into formulas.
The platform includes Sierra, a documentary directed by Juan Francisco Montes; I Am an Island, a short fiction film co-directed with Nico Nuñez; and projects in development such as Veranada, Death from Venice and El fuego del agua. Each record clearly separates what can already be watched, what is in process and what is not yet a commercial offering.
