Ernesto Contreras is the Mexican Director of "Sueño en otro idioma" (I Dream in Another Language), film that won the audience prize at Sundance Film Festival.

The film deals with the arrival of a linguist to an indigenous community in which the last two speakers of a language have more than 50 years without crossing words between them.

Contreras referred to this award as a recognition of diversity, inclusion and acceptance.

In addition, the director asked to use "imagination and magic" to stop building walls and stick together. "Let's make our voices heard," he asked.

Added to that, the Chilean Director Francisca Alegría, and Brazilian Fernando Coimbra were also awarded in this festival.
