Ivonne Cotorruelo is a PhD student at the University of Connecticut, where she studies queer Latin American cinema through a phenomenological lens. She is Senior Programmer at the Trinidad+Tobago Film Festival, Iberoamerican Programmer for the Miami Film Festival, and Features Programmer for the Cleveland International Film Festival. A Berlinale Talents alumna, Ivonne has curated for Outfest LA, Aspen ShortFest, and the Atlanta Film Festival, and has served on juries for Film Independent, Chicken & Egg Pictures, and WarnerMedia, among others. Her curatorial work is guided by questions of proximity and encounter—how we come to films, and how they come to us.
