Carlos Casas
Carlos Casas is a filmmaker working across documentary filmmaking, cinema, and contemporary visual and sound arts. His work has been exhibited in a number of venues and festivals including Hangar Bicocca, Milan; Netmage, Bologna; Documenta, Madrid; and the Fondation Cartier, Paris. A modern-day explorer, Casas’s works deal with the idea of survival, death and the archaic. He has just concluded a trilogy of work dedicated to the most extreme environments on the planet: Patagonia, the Aral Sea and Siberia. He is currently working on a film about a cemetery of elephants on the borders between India and Nepal, and he is part of the ongoing exhibition ‘Ten Days Six Nights’ at Tate Modern, London.
During his residency Casas hosted a screening event at Longyearbyen Kulturhus of his film “Hunters since the beginning of time”.
