Germán López Tirado (b. 1991) is a filmmaker from México based in North Carolina. He's an MFA candidate at Duke University as well as a recipient of both the Robert E. Pristo Filmmaking Award and the Dean's Research Award. In his work he explores memory, nostalgia and personal history through experimental documentary combining analog (16mm) and digital filmmaking. His practice is rooted in film as an embodied medium, using it not only as documentation but as a site of emotional and cultural preservation. His films have been exhibited in festivals including Cindependent in Cincinnati, Ohio; Binghamton SEFF in Binghamton, New York; South Georgia Film Festival in Valdosta, Georgia; and NEOSFest in Monterrey, México.
