Fernando Espinoza

Died in 2002

Fernando Espinoza came to cinema through sound. A sound engineer, he was in 1982 among the founders of a collective that wanted to bring films, Peruvian and foreign, to the poor neighbourhoods of Lima and across the country, and it was he who brought the Uruguayan Alejandro Legaspi into it. Before, during and after those years, he fought for the rights of Afro-Peruvians. He co-directed the group's two fiction feature films and directed alone a short documentary on the trades of survival. He died in 2002, just after the shooting of a documentary.
