Facundo Balza

He is a Uruguayan film director and producer born in 2005. His first university short film as writer and director, Espírita (2025), was selected for the 2024 Fantastic Workshop, organized by ACAU and BIFFF, and presented at Ventana Sur and the BIF Market in Brussels.

Since then, he has focused his work on production through the fiction short S22 and the documentary short Las películas de mi pueblo. Tabula Rasa is his latest project as writer and director, and his most personal work to date. With this film, he revisits the discomforts and fractures that shape his perspective, taking his thematic exploration into more radical and exposed territory.
