Luis Puenzo
Leading figure of the Argentine film industry who began directing commercials at the age of 19 and directed, produced and co-wrote his first feature, "Lights of My Shoes," in 1973. Puenzo earned international recognition for "The Official Story" (1984), a subtle and moving account of a middle-class woman who gradually becomes aware of her own complicity in a corrupt political regime. The film earned Norma Aleandro a Best Actress Award at Cannes in 1985 and itself took home the Oscar for Best Foreign Film the following year.
