Raúl Beceyro
Argentine film director
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Raúl Beceyro (born 1944) is an Argentine film director, critic and photographer. He is known for the film Nadie Nada Nunca (No, No, Never – 1998), which he produced and directed, based on the novel of the same name by Juan Jose Saer. The film starred Antonio Germano, Marina Vasquez and Alicia Dolinsky.[1] He met and was inspired by Saer in 1962, when Saer was his teacher at the Instituto de Cine de Santa Fe.[2]
His book History of photography in 10 images, published in the 1980s, discussed photographs not only in terms of technique or aesthetics, but also in terms of what the images say or represent. Since 1985, he has headed the Film Workshop of the Universidad Nacional del Litoral in Santa Fe.[3] His book "Fotogramas Santafesinos. Instituto de Cinematografía de la UNL, 1956–1976" is a retrospective of this institution dedicated to its lost students.[4] He has made several documentary films about different aspects of Santa Fe, where he lives, including one about the constitutional convention held in the city, and another about the 2007 elections.[5]
