Carlos Mora Fuentes is a director and producer from Cantabria, a region with a starting film scene.

As a producer:

He produces low budget films with an experimental character. Apart from films, he also produces shorts under the name Souvenir Videos, and is setting up a cinema in his mountain village with about 20 inhabitants: Montecine. This cinema will screen a selection of classic accessible films, combined with experimental shorts, and films of new makers about nature and the countryside. Mora Fuentes wants to create a creative space for alternative filmmaking in Cantabria, with international reach.

Earlier works include shorts made for exhibitions, & mini docu’s about art works and landscape.

As a Director:

Carlos is enthusiastic about the camera's ability to see the world from a unique point of view, his own, that of the beholder. Being behind the viewfinder gives him an invisibility that allows him to access places where the eye without a camera normally cannot reach.

He is interested in the relationships between human beings and the interaction of human beings with the environment around them. The changes that occur and how we adapt. All of this is represented in images in which he tries to find (or look for) himself.

He came to cinema at the age of 33. Until then he had studied environmental engineering and worked for 7 years in civil construction.

Among other works, he co-directed the feature documentary Land of Milk and Honey: a collective portrait of human displacement caused by war. The film was selected for the Valladolid International Film Week, where it won the award for best Spanish documentary. It was also shortlisted for the Goya Awards 2021 and has been screened at festivals such as FICX, Play Doc, Miradas Doc, and in the New Directors section of the Thessaloniki Film Festival, where it won the Greek Film Center Award.

He has participated in the two editions to date of El Temporal, where he found space to experiment. El Temporal is a collective and multidisciplinary exhibition in which he has had the opportunity to explore the proposed themes with greater freedom and for which he has created two audiovisual installations called Confines and El agua (co-directed). He has also directed and edited the audiovisual piece commemorating the 50th anniversary of Broken Circle Spiral Hill, the only Earthwork by Robert Smithson in Europe.
