Pedro Lavin (b. 1989) is filmmaker, writer and visual artist from Mexico City.
His work weaves together oneiric fantasy and visceral eroticism with his own personal histories in a biomythographic process. This aesthetic pursuit is rooted in themes of mythology, ritual and folklore; the metamorphotic power of nature; and the primal link between the divine and the profane. With an extensive background in creative direction for film, animation and VFX; and an audacious, pioneering embrace of novel tech and AI; Lavin’s multidisciplinary practice unfolds across a variety of mediums including film, animation, concept and generative art.
Lavin’s filmic work has been selected by and awarded at numerous film festivals internationally including Sundance, Outfest LA, Queer Screen, Annecy, Berlin Porn Film Festival and Choreoscope among others. His artistic output has been exhibited at galleries worldwide including REDCAT in Los Angeles, JO-HS in Mexico City, Chinatown Soup in New York City and distant.gallery virtually.
Lavin’s short film ‘La Pequeña Muerte’, inspired in equal parts by his own queerness, and the hybrid mythologies of his native Mexico, is currently touring film festivals worldwide.
