Martín Rejtman

Argentinian auteur, Martín Rejtman, was born in 1961 in Buenos Aires, Argentina and has been a significant figure in cinema since the late 1980s. Predominantly working in the realm of drama and comedy, Rejtman is best celebrated for his films like "Rapado" and "Los Guantes Mágicos," whose dry humor and mundane realism have not only won him accolades at various international film festivals but also helped define the New Argentine Cinema movement. His authorial style, which often juxtaposes the mundanity of everyday life with surreal elements and uses non-professional actors, has influenced many contemporary filmmakers.

On a more personal note, Martín Rejtman's unassuming demeanor belies his sharp wit and keen observation, making him a truly unique voice in world cinema.
