Nora de Izcue

Nora de Izcue was born in Lima in 1934; she says she was prepared for marriage rather than for studies. She learned filmmaking at the National Academy of Cinematography, then in the workshop of Armando Robles Godoy, whose directing assistant she was on two feature films. Regarded as the first woman to have directed a film in her country, she has made documentaries on the Andean world, on the Amazon and on Afro-Peruvian women, as well as one fiction film. She is among the founding members of the Foundation of the New Latin American Cinema and lives in Lima.
