Daniel Enrique Monje Abril
Curator and Programmer
I consider that experimental cinema is a right that all people dedicated to working with images have. It is a right for which we must all fight together and with each image we produce we gain a little more ground in this infinite iconoclastic war.
I am the academic director of the Film and Television program at the Universitaria Agustiniana. Film and Television Director from the National University of Colombia. Master in Plastic and Visual Arts at the same university. Doctor in Image, Art, Culture and Society from the Autonomous University of the State of Morelos. For the past 23 years I have been a teacher at different universities in Colombia and Mexico: Among the most notable are: Autonomous University of the State of Mexico, Autonomous University of the State of Morelos, Francisco José de Caldas District University and National University of Colombia.

Manuela Palacios Bustos
Curator and Programmer
Manuela is a journalist, curator, film and television producer and independent audiovisual producer. He has worked, above all, in the production and art departments in different projects for public television ('Cineclub En Cine Nos Vemos Season 3', 'Soy', 'Amigos pa' las que sea', 'Reinventarse', etc. .) and in a feature film ('Colibrí'). He has also been part of the Truth Commission and RTVC.
She is a music lover, a film buff and in 2019 she met CineAutopsia when covering the Festival as press. He has been part of the Bogotá Experimental team since 2021; That year she served as press coordinator and content creator. In 2022 she debuted as a curator (she programmed the panorama called: 'El inhabitar poético') and served as community manager. Currently he continues to be part of the curatorial staff.
Manuela cree que para su labor como curadora es importante concebirse a sí misma también como espectadora. Considera que en Latinoamérica se está desempeñando una función relevante en torno a la formación de públicos en narrativas vanguardistas y que justamente el Festival hace parte de esa fomentación y contribución. Piensa que más allá de ese factor atípico o no patrón, las obras deben mantener tanto un subtexto o trasfondo como una intención clara.
