Diego Barajas Riaño is a Colombian cinematographer, director, and PhD candidate in Audiovisual Arts at Tallinn University. With a background spanning feature films, documentaries, and television across Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas - and collaborations with broadcasters such as ARTE and RTS - his practice is rooted in a deep engagement with communities and conflict. Years documenting Colombia's internal conflict and working alongside indigenous and Afro-descendant communities profoundly shaped his approach to image and story. His expanded cinema work relocates moving images into physical spaces, transforming audiences into active participants - questioning their relationship to space, narrative, and each other.
