About
Born in Mexico City in 1981 and emigrated to Canada in 1991. After dabbling about in a seminary and med-school, F.Q. Quintanilla ultimately gave himself to the study of film and literature. Currently in the final stages of a doctorate degree at the University of Western Ontario, his thesis entitled The Reel Latina/o Soldier in American Cinema carries out an archaeological practice around the representation of the Latina/o soldier in American war film since 1943 to the present. His interests expand to contemporary Mexican cinema and Latinocanadian fiction. His creative works have been included in three print anthologies as well as in various online publications. In 2011, he was awarded third place in the context of the national short story competition Nuestra Palabra (Toronto, Ont). He has also participated in the development of two short films; the latter produced in workshop with the filmmaker Fernando Solanas.
