Film Mentors and Protégés
2008/2009 Mentor and Protégée
Martin Scorsese and Celina Murga
The protégée has been using the film Goodfellas as study material in the film-making courses she teaches in Argentina. The opportunity to now study directly with the director of that film seems a wonderful dream.
2006/2007 Mentor and Protégé
Stephen Frears and Josué Méndez
The 29-year-old protégé has shot his second feature under the guidance of mentor Stephen Frears. The story explores the lifestyle of the young, idle members of Peru’s upper classes.
2004/2005 Mentor and Protégé
Mira Nair and Aditya Assarat
It began with them talking movies over fish curry and wine. It ended with the certitude that they spoke the same creative language.
