Alberto Durant

Alberto Durant, known as Chicho, was born in Peru on 23 January 1951. A scholarship sent him in 1968 to study economics at Rice, in Texas, where he turned to film; he then learned the craft in Brussels, and later at the London International Film School, from which he graduated in 1977. Back in Lima, he was an editing and camera assistant and a critic for a weekly, and in 1979 took part in the founding of the Cinémathèque of Lima. He has directed seven feature films in fifty years, as well as documentaries, and published in 2022 a book of memories from his shoots.
