Santi Carlini (La Plata, Argentina, 1985) is a filmmaker and multidisciplinary artist. His practice explores, in a sensitive and poetic way, how vulnerable we can be when living within deeply unequal power relations. Carlini's work offers an intimate and critical perspective, aiming to foster empathy, reflection, and, above all, empowerment.
He holds a degree in Audiovisual Arts (UNA) and is a trained Director of Photography (CFP-SICA). Video is his primary medium, though his language also includes installation, digital drawing, and sculpture. Carlini's works not only illustrate fragility but embody it as a form of resistance. From a political, philosophical, and deeply sensitive approach, Carlini creates works that unsettle and question, but also open a door to beauty—a beauty that does not deny adversity, but emerges in spite of it.
He has participated in the 42nd International Festival of New Latin American Cinema (Havana), DOBRA (Rio de Janeiro), Cineautopsia (Bogotá), Miami New Media Festival, ByteFootage (CCK), PLAY (Corrientes), and exhibitions such as Ruina Azul (Zapadores, Madrid) and Peluscencias (MUNAR). He has received grants from MasterLAV, Proyecto Imaginario PI.MOV, ArtistasxArtistas (El Mirador & MUNAR), and the BIM (Biennial of the Moving Image).
