Matías Meyer is a French born of Mexican descent filmmaker, director and writer.

^[-1]To date he has directed four feature-length films.

^[9]He lives in Montreal and his film projects are based in Mexico.

Matías has proven to be a prominent participant in the last decade of Mexico’s resurgence as an international cinematic power as an emergent independent filmmaker.

He crafts captivating films that evoke unfamiliar geographies and existentially charged engagements with duration and time.

He has developed a vernacular that speaks compellingly beyond generic convention and the present moment.

He graduated from Paris-Sorbonne University in film theory, and Mexico’s Centro de Capacitación Cinematográfica.

Meyer typically produces work with international partners, and participates regularly at international festivals (Locarno, Stockholm, Rotterdam).

In this milieu, he offers refracted but precise visions, mostly of Mexico, that engage vigorously with global film traditions, eschewing exoticism for cinematic formulations of the ineffable.

His four feature films to date display a familiar signature and a compelling thematic center, expressing the vastness of solitude, and the epiphanies and purifications that occur on journeys in search of sanctuary, rapture or release.
