Yasser Medina (Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, 1986) is a Dominican editor, essayist, and film critic with 15 years of experience in film journalism, specializing in history of film, film studies, and film analysis. His passion for the seventh art is reflected in an eclectic approach, blending synchronic and diachronic perspectives to analyze mainstream, classic, and auteur cinema with equal depth. His writings, characterized by descriptive, hermeneutic, and analytical rigor, do not shy away from the emotional dimension that enriches his critical judgment.

A member of the International Federation of Film Critics (FIPRESCI), Medina has contributed to dominican outlets such as Al Momento and Acento. Since 2014, he has written film criticism for the daily newspaper El Nuevo Diario. He also contributed to the radio program Cineasta Radio until its closure in 2017 and has written essays in the academic journal In-Artes, published by the Institute of Arts Research (INARTES) at the Faculty of Arts of the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo (UASD). He has also held governmental positions in the field of digital communication.

He is the first film critic residing only in the Dominican Republic to be Tomatometer-approved by Rotten Tomatoes. Medina founded and has edited the website Cinefilia since 2010, where he passionately reviews every film he watches. An alumnus with a degree in Business Administration from the prestigious Technological Institute of Santo Domingo (INTEC), he complements his cinephile work with studies in history of art, philosophy and art aesthetics, while also being a talented illustrator and painter.
