ARIA COVAMONAS is a celebrated Mexican filmmaker and experimental animator known for her radically non-linear works and appropriation of public-domain media. Her works stood at the intersection of surrealism, dadaism, and philosophical inquiry. Her distinctive style, recognizable for its use of hand-animated cutouts, archival imagery, and mismatched historical audio, earned her international acclaim. Her last work, "The Great History of Western Philosophy", premiered at the Rotterdam IFF, won Best Picture at the 24 Frame Future Film Fest and screen in Annecy's prestigious Contrechamp selection.
