What I have worked on
EDUARDO FILIPPI
Visual artist | Experimental filmmaker | teacher
Eduardo Filippi is an architect, experimental filmmaker, and performer, specializing in the intersection of architecture, art, and film. His work explores the possibilities of expanded cinema, audiovisual installations, and multidisciplinary performances, combining analog and contemporary techniques to generate immersive and sensorial experiences.
Based in Barcelona, he develops film and educational projects in collaboration with artists, cultural institutions, and academics. Since 2021, he has been a lecturer at the Higher School of Film and Audiovisuals of Catalonia (ESCAC). In 2023, he joined ESDI in the areas of research, installation creation, and experimental cultural/media programming. In 2024, he joined the EINA Master's Program in Image Research and Design. He teaches classes on film history, experimental film, moving image, film lab, and 16mm film shooting and development techniques. His pedagogical approach seeks to connect artistic practice with critical thinking, fostering an innovative and experimental approach to audiovisual language.
He also designs and teaches analog-experimental film workshops at various educational levels, collaborating with schools, universities, and international festivals. His educational work focuses not only on technical teaching but also on conveying an artistic vision that captures the materiality of film and its potential as a tool for contemporary exploration and expression.
Between 2020 and 2024, he was part of the coordination team of the Zumzeig film cooperative, where he was instrumental in the creation of the first Network of Audiovisual Cooperatives in Catalonia and in the organization of the CO- International Cooperative Film and Audiovisual Festival. As a programmer, he has promoted exhibition spaces for experimental, documentary, arthouse, and non-fiction films with gender, anti-racist, and social perspectives at festivals such as LOOP, L'Alternativa, D'A Film Festival, La Inesperada, Festival Protesta, Barq, CineMigrante, and Mostra de Films de Dones, among others.
In 2023, he received the Barcelona Crea grant for the research and development of a 16mm multiple projector, combining the electromechanical technology of analog cinema with innovations in digital manufacturing.
His work, situated between abstraction and materiality, is exhibited in cultural centers, galleries, festivals, and museums, consolidating his position at the forefront of experimental and expanded cinema.
