THE DANCE OF DARKNESS

Omar G. Neri is a Mexican filmmaker who has worked as a director, screenwriter, editor, and producer. His work is characterized by a personal perspective that combines social and intimate themes, with a style that moves between fiction, documentary, and visual experimentation.

Since 2010, he has directed and produced more than ten short films that have been selected and awarded at national and international festivals, including the Guanajuato International Film Festival (GIFF), CINECAFEST (Miami), the Film Festival in India, and the Giro Film Festival in Spain. His projects address themes such as identity, community life, fear, loss, and collective memory.

In 2025, he completed three new short films that are yet to be released: La llamada, an erotic comedy exploring the boundaries between fantasy and the absurd; El mensaje, a science fiction work about a mysterious interdimensional encounter during a live broadcast; and La danza de la obscuridad, a documentary that questions what it means to create art today.

In addition to his cinematic work, he has been a producer at TV4, the public and cultural television station of the state of Guanajuato, where he has developed programs such as La ruta de hoy, Sesiones, De aquí somos, Platicando con, Mariachis de México, Muchos pocos hacen un mucho, and the complete broadcast of all the Trasnoche Cervantino concerts in 2023.
