Spanish filmmaker, Diana Toucedo, is a well-known cinema amateur and film editor based in Barcelona and Amsterdam. Her work deeply engages with Anthropocene themes. Toucedo’s 2017 full-length film debut, Trinta Lumes/Thirty Souls, engages in an eco-anthropological exploration of the limits of life and death in rural Galicia. Her documentary, Camille & Ulysse (2021), co-produced by the CCCB (Barcelona) and the Centre Pompidou in Paris, was done in collaboration with Donna Haraway and Vinciane Despret, offering an adaptation of Haraway’s Staying With the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chthulucene (2016), and Despret’s Autobiographie d’un pulpe (2021). Among many other projects, Diana Toucedo is currently in post-production with her last full-length film, Puerto Deseo/Port Desire (2022-24). In it, she explores the ravages of the sea through life on board of a fishing boat in the icy waters of the Argentinian South Atlantic Ocean.
