Álvaro Pelegrín

Álvaro is an Film Studies Senior exchange student at the University of California, Berkeley. He's passionate about documentary and non-fiction films, which he considers the ultimate way of combining the passion for creating stories and talking about our society and our historical world at the same time. One of his main concerns is the portrayal of 'otherness' in cinema and media, and its link with mental and physical handicaps. He's preparing a feature-length documentary for his final project in Spain, and has collaborated in over a dozen short films both in the USA and Spain.
