Short film by Teo Hernández. ...
Watch NowMain organ of the theo Hernandez was born on December 23, 1939 in Ciudad Hidalgo, Mexico. After studying architecture, I founded with a friend the CEC (Center for Experimental Movies), in Mexico City. In 1960, the French Institute of Latin America financed the first project of the group, a documentary that will remain unfinished.
I moved to Paris in 1966. From 1968 to 1975, I have made films in super 8 in London, Paris, Morocco and Denmark. Then accompanied by Michel Nedjar with whom I've turned "Michel là-bas" in Morocco, I have traveled for six years in India, Nepal, Greece ... Back in Paris, I realized Salome (1976) in the spirit of Oscar Wilde. I have meets Gaël Badaud, with whom I have begins a long series of collaborations where elements of his own experience are incorporated in the films. In 1977, I have created Christ, which will be part of a trilogy on the passion with Cristaux and Lacrima Cristi. In 1980, with his friends (Nedjar, Jakobois and Badaud) I founded the group MétroBarbèsRochechou Art.
