Participant Profile

Fabiana Salgado

USA
Miami
FL

Cuban filmmaker and designer whose work moves between experimental documentary and
essay film. Graduated from the International School of Film and Television, where she earned a
Master’s degree in Essay Film Direction, her practice centers on self-reflexive narratives,
memory, and the many forms of Cuban migration.
Through a hybrid approach that intertwines personal testimony, archival materials, and poetic
imagery, Salgado explores questions of displacement, belonging, and the politics of
representation. She has collaborated with various media outlets as a reporter, editor, and
documentarian.
Her films have screened at DOC Buenos Aires, Visible Evidence XXIV, the Havana Film Festival,
and INSTAR Film Showcase. Based in Miami, she develops essayistic projects on family and
diaspora.
