Early life
Peered was born in Mexico City in 1982; he holds dual Mexican and Canadian citizenship and is a resident of Toronto, where he studied filmmaking at York University.
Career
Pereda's films, which have been financed by both Mexican and Canadian funds, have been predominantly shot in Mexico and are "resolutely Mexican in their intimate attention to class, culture, social structure, and family relations in Mexican society."
His films have been exhibited in festivals around the world, including at the Venice Film Festival, Berlinale, Rotterdam, and the Toronto International Film Festival. Pereda's work has also been presented at several retrospectives in various festivals, cinemateques and archives around the world, including the Anthology Film Archives, the Pacific Film Archive, and the Harvard Film Archive, which wrote of his work: "Pereda’s films are resolutely Mexican in focus and almost exclusively deal with stories drawn directly from the everyday lives and worlds of their working-class characters."
His films have been described as "meticulous, minimalist, deadpan."
Other work
He is currently the Director of the Filmmaking Program, a new BFA program at the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University in New Jersey.
Awards and nominations
In 2010, his film Summer of Goliath was awarded the Orizzonti award for Best Film at the Venice Film Festival. Pereda won the 2012 Jay Scott Prize for an emerging artist, awarded by the Toronto Film Critics Association.
