Antonio de Santos is an underground poet and experimental Chilean filmmaker graduated in Visual Arts from the Major University of Chile. Also known as performance player, writer and director of theater plays.
Biography
Antonio de Santos was born in Santiago de Chile. When he was 11 years old his father committed suicide on Carlos Gardel's grave, an event that changed his life permanently. At age 17, after finishing school at the Instituto Nacional General José Miguel Carrera, he decided to leave his parental home to live on the streets and in abandoned houses.
Despite this new way of life, Antonio de Santos continued studying on his own and reading. He went almost every day to the National Library of Chile where he read novels and poetry and started writing poetry himself, influenced by the damned poets like Trakl, Novalis and Rimbaud. He pursued the experimental arts, mainly through the reconstruction of a poetic language through cinema, theater, plastic and literature.
He published his first book at age 17 and has published sixteen books since then, most of them art objects and fabricated by himself.
In the year 1999, De Santos published his first novel, When I wake up with a slut I put on Brahms, which had a significant review from the literary critic Patricia Espinosa.
He started his career as a director with Rachmaninoff in the year 2007. He did it mainly to prove everyone (to all those who said "it is not possible to do a movie without any funds") that he was capable of making films with almost any budget at all, "no reason is a good reason for not creating" he says.
Antonio de Santos maintains a close relation with various artistic circles, with which he collaborates in his artistic work. His spontaneously filmed work "Dressed Lunch" was made with the participation of the art and aesthetic critic Ricardo Loebell; and the musician Sebastián Jatz Rawicz. Also, his friendship with great Chilean poets such as José Miguel Vicuña and Hernán Miranda Casanova gave birth to two big poetic projects; firstly the creation of his poem "Waiting for death" dedicated to Vicuña Lagarrigue; and secondly the movie Scaffold in which Miranda Casanova and De Santos work together.
De Santos has directed 15 visual works and films. In the year 2012 he won with his movie Shaman, the award for Best Foreign Director at the 5th Istanbul Experimental Film Festival in Turkey and the award for Best Movie at the Latinamerican Antifilm Festival SANFRIK. In the year 2013, a retrospective of his works was presented at the Film Library of the Chilean Presidential Palace, La Moneda. He lives in Paris where he continues developing his poetic work and visual art.

Youth and Environment Europe (YEE) is a network of young people in Europe who study nature or are active in environmental protection. It has 46 member organisations in 26 countries. The main aim of YEE is to support and connect its member organisations by encouraging young people to act for the environment and by providing a platform for those organisations to work together. This platform includes exchange of information and experience, organising training courses and publishing publications.
History
Youth and Environment Europe (YEE) was founded in 1983 in Stockholm, Sweden. It was created by the International Youth Federation for Environmental Studies and Conservation (IYF).
The first office was based in Copenhagen, Denmark. At this time, YEE connected 15 organisations from across Europe. Three of the original member organisations remain in the network today (JNM, DJN, Faltbiologerna).
In 1990 the YEE office moved to Utrecht in the Netherlands. For some years in the 1990s there was a second YEE office in Malta. It focused closely on Mediterranean issues. By 1998 the YEE network had grown to include more member organisations from the East. The office was therefore moved a third time to Prague in the Czech Republic. This central location was chosen in order to better connect members from across the continent. The organisation's office is located to this day at the ecological center Toulcuv Dvur.
Structure
Member organisations
YEE has Full members and Associate members. Full members are non-governmental organisations from Europe that are youth-led and active in environmental protection.
