NI SIQUIERA LAS FLORES

A woman must stay at home with her children. From the window she looks out over the neighborhood. While some people go about their daily routines, others walk along the edges of life. The dumpster becomes the center of attention. The funeral procession passing by the corner marks the rhythm of life and death. The days pass by and the seasons change, while a subtle dialogue is established between the public space, which sometimes becomes private, and the intimacy of the home.

Raised in the countryside of Uruguay, she graduated with honors in Cinematography from the IAD (Institut des Arts de Diffusion) de Louvain- la-Neuve in Belgium. She co-founded Cronopio Film in 2005 in Geneva and dedicated herself to the direction of creative documentaries. In 2016 she founded La Piscina Film in Montevideo and she keeps developing a constant and diverse filmography which oscillates between public and private matters. Between 2017 and 2023 she taught filmmaking at the Faculty of Arts of the Universidad de la República. She is also a consultant for projects and films in production, as well as a fund evaluator in Uruguay and abroad. She’s currently working on her next feature documentary: Las demoliciones.
