I create projects across filmmaking, visual theater, writing, and visual art, bringing this interdisciplinary practice into Work Integrated Learning within higher education. Navigating digital cultures, my work aims to engage and challenge audiences, always grounded in the human experience.

"Award winning Spanish filmmaker Pedro Valiente explores interdisciplinary storytelling across film, video art, and visual theater. Having lived in New York for over a decade, and also in Mexico City, and the UK, his creative projects span more than twenty countries.

His work has earned two Berlinale awards, an Emmy nomination, and nearly 60 honors. His films have screened at over 100 festivals (including Sundance and SXSW), broadcast on PBS, BBC, RTVE, and Canal+, and been presented at venues like MoMA and the Whitney Biennial. Key projects include the video installation Multiple Portraits, the award winning documentary You Are Mythical, and the acclaimed New York Spin, Cuba 15 (produced for Elizabeth Schub), and Forgetful (featuring Ana Torrent and Gal Soler). He has also collaborated on productions by Steven Soderbergh and Spike Lee, and with NBC's Saturday Night Live, Time Warner, Vivendi Universal, and The Rockefeller Foundation.

In the performing arts, Valiente spent three years on video design for Robert Wilson’s The Days Before: DDD III—featuring music by Ryuichi Sakamoto and text by Umberto Eco—at Lincoln Center. He also trained with The Wooster Group and the Trisha Brown Dance Company, presented butoh at Mexico's National Center for the Arts, and directed pioneering multimedia theater productions in Madrid’s university. His academic research on Wilson's creative process was published as a book series, complementing his PhD in Audiovisual Creativity and Production and MAs in Cinema Studies and Journalism.

Valiente’s career in higher education includes serving as International Relations Director at the New York Film Academy, Program Leader at Arts University Plymouth in the UK, and European Project Media Director at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. He has also contributed to edX (MIT/Harvard), lectured internationally, and recently published The Book of B."
