Julián Hernández

A master of queer cinema from Mexico, Julián Hernández was born in 1972 in Mexico City, Mexico, and began his directorial career in 1998. Known for his films in the drama and romance genres, his most famous works include "A Thousand Clouds of Peace," "Raging Sun, Raging Sky," and "Broken Sky," all of which have garnered him multiple awards including a Teddy at the Berlin International Film Festival. His authorial style is characterized by long, lingering shots and a focus on raw emotional intensity, often exploring themes of love, desire, and identity within the LGBTQ+ experience.

From the heart, Hernández is not just a filmmaker, but a poet whose canvas is the silver screen, daring to portray love and longing in their most visceral forms.
