Biography

Pulpeiro's cinema is one of displacement and estrangement. A melancholic view of the global tide dragging us in and out, both alienating and liberating the characters from whatever place they considered to be home. Born in 1990 in the village of Foz, Galicia (Spain), he spends most of his childhood moving around isolated industrial cities in Canada, Brazil, or Australia. After graduating from the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London, he settled in South America in 2015. There, he wrote and directed a series of projects of which two feature-length documentaries stand out. Nocturno: Ghosts of the Sea in Port (72', 2017), developed within DocLisboa's ARCHÉ workshop, premieres competing at Gijón's FICX and Edinburgh's EIFF. Filmed in Venezuela between 2018 and 2021, So Foul a Sky (83', 2021) has its premiere at the Next:Wave competition of the prestigious Danish festival CPH:DOX. It is awarded Best Cinematography at Saratov (Russia), nominated for Best Spanish Director at SEFF (Seville), and competes in festivals around the world. After its release in Spanish commercial theaters, it is now part of the catalog of FILMIN, Amazon Prime USA, Pluto TV, TrueStory and other streaming platforms.

He is now under production of his first feature fiction project 'Petroleo'.
