Marta Rodríguez and Jorge Silva

Marta Rodríguez was born in Bogotá on 1 December 1933, the youngest of a family left without means by her father's death. She went to study philosophy in Spain, switched to sociology, then in Paris met the ethnographer who would teach her to film by taking part in people's lives. Back in 1965, she took up anthropology again, worked for the film service of an embassy and teamed up with the photographer she would marry and who would die before her. Together they made seven documentaries; she has signed some twenty others since.
