Cinema – and the filmmakers that help shape it – has the power to change the landscape of contemporary culture. It sways audiences in different directions, exploring hard truths to provoke thought and inspire change. Legendary Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón is no stranger to this, examining themes of friendship, sexuality, and the disparities between social classes in his films. 

Cuarón leaps from genre to genre using his cinematic language to create some of the most visually arresting and emotionally compelling films. From his standout coming-of-age film exploring the complicated feelings of love and heartbreak, using only handheld cameras to create a documentary feel, to a universal story about human experience, Cuarón always focuses on thematically driven concepts. Often injecting sensibility and creating unexpected moments that feel intimate to viewers. This mastery of his craft has earned him multiple Oscars® and critical acclaim worldwide.
