The affinity Enri Ceballos has for dance is intensely represented by his picks for 1900, four of which feature the sheer joy of human movement. Both in front of and behind the screen, these films (all French and helmed by women!) also represent the diversity of gender and sexuality at play, along with sound and color technologies, in early cinema's history.
Enri is the General Director for the
Mexico International Silent Film Festival, a PhD student at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), and a member of
Women and Film History International.
