Director´s Biography / Biografía del Director:

JOSÉ CELESTINO CAMPUSANO

Was born in 1964 in Quilmes, Argentina. Son and brother of boxers, he studied Film Making in the Film Institute of Avellaneda, with an active participation in independents films and videos in the eighties and part of the nineties. He is a highly unusual personality, a collector of vintage motorbikes, a versatile artist, and author of a book “Argentine Marginal Mythology”, composed of thirteen short stories.

 

Nacido en Quilmes, Buenos Aires en 1964. Hijo y hermano de boxeadores, su infancia y adolescencia estuvieron signadas por un desprecio absoluto a la educación oficializada y a todos y cada uno de los mecanismos de inserción social. Estudio parte de la carrera de realizador argumental en el Instituto de Cine de Avellaneda. Sobreviviente de varias batallas, ha deambulado insistentemente por las entrañas de zonas periféricas de diversos países, este factor sumado a una acérrima actitud anarquista deriva en que sus films posean un sello único.
