Miguel Coyula

Biography

Miguel Coyula (Havana, March 31, 1977) is a Cuban filmmaker and writer. He is a graduate of the Directing Specialty at the International Film and Television School (EICTV) in San Antonio de los Baños, Cuba. Coyula has worked on his films outside the industry, exercising various disciplines, and usually taking several years to complete. His work is characterized by the use of allegory and collage, in a hybrid of genres and styles. He has been described by international critics as a virtuoso and a renovator. The protagonists of his films are generally misfits with a frontal critical vision of society and its political figures, both in Cuba and when he has filmed abroad. The controversial nature of his work, which also includes explicit sex, has led him to often be called the enfant terrible of Cuban cinema.
