ABOUT THE PLAYWRIGHT

Martín Rejtman (Argentina) studied film at New York University. Before directing his first feature film, he worked on several productions as an assistant director and made two short films: Doli vuelve a casa (1984-2004) and Sitting on a Suitcase (1986). Full-length features on which he served as director and screenwriter include Rapado (1992), Silvia Prieto (1999), Los guantes magicos (2003), and Copacabana (2006), and they have won awards from Fipresci (the International Film Critics Federation) and the Three Continents, Valdivia, and FICCO film festivals, among others. In addition to filmmaking, he has written books that have been published in Argentina and Europe. They include Rapado (Planeta, 1992), Treinta y cuatro historias (included in Un libro sobre Kuitca, 1993), Velcro y yo (Planeta, 1996), and Literatura y otros cuentos (Interzona, 2005). In 2000 he was a resident at the University of Iowa’s International Writing Program, and in 2002 he received a fellowship from Argentina’s Fundación Antorchas.
