Profile
Hanzer González Garriga is a multidisciplinary artist based in Havana. Their artistic and cultural practices encompass four perspectives: videographer, film producer, archivist, and artistic researcher.

Hanzer is the manager of the production company del MONTE productions, with films screened at festivals such as Locarno, Mar del Plata, Oberhausen, Havana Film Festival, and Visions du Réel, among others. Hanzer has been awarded the Cuban Film Fund (FFCC) twice; the María Eugenia Hayas Photographic Research Grant in 2023, and the Juan Francisco Elso Research Grant in 2025. They are the creator of the “archivos del MONTE” project. Hanzer graduated from the Universidad de las Artes (ISA), Cuba, the EICTV, and the Ibermemoria Programme, and was selected for Talents Guadalajara 2024.
