Celina Murga
2008-2009 Film Protégée
Published in 2008
Film director Celina Murga, 35, has been making waves in her native Argentina and beyond with her poignant cinematic style. She left Paraná, in Entre Ríos Province, for Buenos Aires at age 17 and, in 1996, graduated with a degree in film directing from the Universidad del Cine.
Currently a partner in a production company, and a teacher at the Centro de Investigación Cinematográfica – where she uses Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas as study material – Murga has worked as an assistant director and, in 2002, directed her debut feature, Ana y los otros (Ana and the Others). This portrait of a young woman returning home to Paraná has been acclaimed at film festivals, including Venice and Toronto.
She is now in postproduction on a second feature, Una semana solos (A Week Alone). “I’m at a stage in my career where the critical and experienced eye of a master will be a vital gain,” says Murga.
