ENTRE is an artist-run community film center and regional archive that focuses on the creation, exhibition, and preservation of community-made cinema, documentary, video art, and other forms of alternative cinematic expression.  Located in the Rio Grande Valley, Texas, ENTRE’s mission is to provide access, knowledge, and skills in film making and archival practices, inviting more voices to document, share and preserve the vast narrative of US/Mexico border communities. Co-Founder C. Díaz will screen a selection of works made at ENTRE between 2022-2023.

Bios: C. Díaz is an interdisciplinary artist and radical archivist from the Rio Grande Valley, Texas. Their work explores the relationship between cerebral landscapes and the natural environment through the weaving of social practice, experimental cinematic techniques, and the reimagining of archives. C. has worked on various film restorations, oral history projects, and home movie collections as a colorist, editor, and digitization specialist for the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, NMAAHC at The Smithsonian, and The Estate of Ana Mendieta. In 2021, they co-founded ENTRE, an artist-run community film center and regional archive located in the Rio Grande Valley, where they hold roles as facilitator, programmer, and archivist. They serve on the board of the Center for Home Movies, a collective of archivists advocating for the preservation and cultural significance of home movies across the globe. They were an Interchange Artist Grant Fellow in 2021, awarded the Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts Grant in 2019, and an Artist in Residence at the Echo Park Film Center in 2016.  They are currently an Assembling Voices Fellow at Columbia's INCITE program focusing on Boca Chica, Corazón Grande, a community archival project facilitated by ENTRE and Flower Friends. C. took their first workshop with MONO in 2012 and presented their dual projection piece Frente a Frente at MONO NO AWARE X in 2016.
