Alex Rey is an animation film director, screenwriter and designer. He trained at EASDA (School of Art and Design) and at EISV (Vigo) as a film and television director. Since then, he has focused his career on auteur animation, developing a distinctive style based on experimentation, creative freedom and a handcrafted aesthetic. He combines satire, absurd humour and social critique, using mixed techniques —hand-drawn animation, 2D animation and limited animation— to build a personal visual universe.

His body of work includes several short films, such as La increíble vacuna del Doctor Dickinson (2020), Phonorama(2022) and Periquitos (2024), which reflect his interest in absurd narratives, extreme situations and an ironic view of reality. In recent years, his films have been selected for and awarded at numerous prestigious festivals, including NotodofilmFest and the Málaga Film Festival, strengthening his presence within the Spanish independent animation scene. In 2025, he received another major distinction: his short film Pobre Marciano was awarded in Ottawa, a recent achievement that highlights the international reach of his creative work.

At the previous edition of IMAXINARIA, he received the Audience Award for his film Periquitos.
