(Background for a Nobleman)
Emiliano Cano.
I was born in Madrid in 1981. I studied Fine Arts in the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) and Cinema in the Städelschule of Frankfurt am Main, where I discovered the work of filmmakers like Peter Kubelka, Jonas Mekas or Stan Brakhage.
I like the mixing of genres and the experimentation, playing to pretend something is not what it looks like, travelling, dreaming, singing dressed as a penguin, the Caesar salad, the month of september. Destiny took me twice to live in Germany and twice again brought me back with a lot of memories but without managing to speak properly the german language.
I have shown my pieces in numerous film festivals and art exhibitions around Spain and abroad, and have received a few awards for them. At present I live and work in Madrid as film director and lyrical singer.
