Santiago Amigorena

Santiago Amigorena fascinates me as a genuine polymath: novelist, screenwriter, film director, producer, and painter, all in one career. An Argentine from Buenos Aires who won the Académie française's Prix François-Mauriac, he crossed both languages and borders to make his work, which I read as the strength of an artist with no single home. People who refuse to stay inside one discipline usually have something restless and honest driving them, and I tend to trust that instinct. He's the rare figure for whom the word versatile feels earned rather than flattering, and I'd read or watch almost anything he made.

Santiago Amigorena (Spanish pronunciation: [sanˈtjaɣo amiɣoˈɾena]; born 15 February 1962) is an Argentine screenwriter, film producer, film director and writer. In 2007, he was nominated at the Mar del Plata Film Festival for Best Film with A Few Days in September.
