Mario Handler

Mario Handler was born on 10 November 1935 in Montevideo. He began in 1958 with an experimental film, trained in scientific cinema in Germany, then in Prague, and became one of the first militant filmmakers of his country: in the sixties he filmed the streets of Montevideo and the students, and in 1969 the death of the country's first student martyr. He went into exile in Venezuela in the early seventies and made films there on colonial history and popular cults. Back in Uruguay in 1999, he taught cinema at the Universidad de la República from 2000.
