Santiago Caicedo. Colombian artist and filmmaker. He directed the animated feature film "Virus Tropical" selected at festivals such as Berlinale and Annecy, his projects have received numerous distinctions around the world including audience awards at SXSW and BAFICI, the Quirino award for best Iberoamerican Animation and the Golden Lumiere award granted by the advance Imaging society. Santiago lives and works in Bogota as director of Timbo Estudio and teaches at the University of Los Andes.

By enhancing graphics and fantasy in his unique style, Caicedo vanishes all references to common times or places and takes us away on trips to strange worlds. This attempts to break off traditional narrative structures, where many of his pieces are made of visual stories without dialogue in single sequences, has lead to Caicedo´s collaborations with Nintendo and Taschen where his alternative methods of producing stereoscopic images are highlighted.
