MEMENTO MORI (ZINC) Short Film Competition

MEMENTO MORI (ZINC)

Ainara Vera is a Spanish filmmaker and editor whose work has captivated audiences at renowned festivals such as Locarno Film Festival, IDFA, Camden International Film Festival, Hot Docs, the Marrakech Film Festival, the Seville European Film Festival and the Trento Film Festival, among others.
