Hi, I'm Akona Matyila, a passionate filmmaker and academic with a Master's Degree in Audiovisual Arts from the Universidad de Valparaíso in Chile. I specialize in film studies methodologies and love exploring the intersection of cinema, politics, and societal transformation. Over the years, I've gained experience directing and producing films, working closely with creatives of color through my venture, The House of Taurus. I have a background in video technology and a strong interest in experimental and hybrid film forms. I enjoy mentoring students and working with film festivals as a programmer and jury member. When I'm not working on films, I like to blend academic research with practical filmmaking to push boundaries in visual storytelling.…Hi, I'm Akona Matyila, a passionate filmmaker and academic with a Master's Degree in Audiovisual Arts from the Universidad de Valparaíso in Chile.
