Biography
Julián Hernández is a Mexican screenwriter and director whose feature films became foundational to international gay cinema. Born in Mexico City on January 1, 1972, he studied at Centro Universitario de Estudios Cinematográficos (CUEC) but was expelled for directing gay-themed work during a homophobic administration. His breakthrough came through international festivals: he won the Teddy Award at Berlin Film Festival twice—first for Thousand Clouds of Peace Fence the Sky, Love, Your Being Love Will Never End (2003), then for Raging Sun, Raging Sky (2009). Over his career, Hernández has directed more than 20 awarded short films spanning documentary and fiction. His feature work, including Broken Sky, established him as a gay-cinema icon. Aesthetically, he credits Michelangelo Antonioni, Leonardo Favio, Robert Bresson, and Alain Resnais as formative influences on his cinematographic language. In 2003, alongside producer-director Roberto Fiesco, Hernández co-founded Cooperativa Cinematográfica Morelos, which evolved into the prestigious production company Mil Nubes Cine. Over two decades, Mil Nubes Cine produced 29 films. As a screenwriter and director, Hernández works across narrative forms—features, shorts, and documentaries—expanding queer representation in cinema. Born under Capricorn, his life-path number 3 reflects creative expression and communication.
★ ORIGIN
Before Fame
Hernández attended Centro Universitario de Estudios Cinematográficos (CUEC), Mexico's premier film school, but faced institutional resistance: he was expelled due to the homophobic administration's hostility toward his gay-themed films. This early setback delayed his recognition as a serious director until he began winning international awards.
