Audiovisual is a tool that fosters creative and social skills, raising awareness of the world's dramaturgy and the complexity of each human being. We believe that developing sensitivity allows us to be and feel connected to the social fabric and the life around us.



EL DESPACHO was founded in 1998 and it is runned by:

- Diego Gutiérrez (Mexico City, 1966). Departing as a visual artist, Gutiérrez actively participated in the world of the visual arts in Mexico and abroad, between the mid-1980s and the late 1990s. In 1996, he travels to the Netherlands for an artist residency at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten, where he meets Dutch filmmaker Kees Hin (1936-2021). Following this encounter, Gutiérrez increasingly gravitates more and more towards film-related practices. In 1998, he founds El Despacho at the Torre Latinoamericana in Mexico City.

- Linda Bannink (Alkmaar, 1975) is a Dutch visual artist, filmmaker and elementary school teacher. She lives in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
