Albertina Carri

Albertina Carri is an Argentine lesbian filmmaker considered one of the most important directors in contemporary Latin American cinema. She is known for Los Rubios (2003), a provocative, formally inventive documentary essay about the disappearance of her parents during Argentina's military dictatorship, and Las hijas del fuego (2018), an unapologetic celebration of lesbian desire and solidarity. Her work consistently interrogates memory, identity, and the body, and she has been openly lesbian throughout her career.
