Automatic Alt text for my images

I need to establish a rule to automatically introduce alt text in the main image of my article. Something like this:

<txp:image alt=“This is a still of the movie <txp:title />, directed by <txp:custom_field name=‘director’ /> in <txp:custom_field name=‘año’ />” />

I think this is NOT possible with <txp: image /> default tag.

Do you know of any plugin or solution to cover this need?

No, but you can wire it up by hand. Something like this (untested) :

<if::article_image>
<txp:images limit="1">
<img src="<image::url />" alt="This is a still of the movie <txp:title />, directed by <custom::field name='director' /> in <custom::field name='año' />" />
</txp:images>
</if::article_image>

For the record, in txp 4.9-dev <txp:image /> seems to take alt attribute.
