In between fiction, documentary and the art form, Enciso’s work explores language, political history and landscape, asserting the prevalence of past events in our present. Combining the artistic sensibilities of European auteur cinema with the construction of atmospheres and a sensory ethnographical point of view, his films won prizes in festivals in Argentina, France, Mexico, Peru, Portugal, Russia, Spain or Switzerland.

Recently released, last work by Eloy Enciso Todo es cárcel explores memory, repression and landscape. The film won the Grand Prix at FID Marseille International Film Festival 2026.
