Lucrecia Martel, a founding figure of the New Argentine Cinema, whose acclaimed films include The Headless Woman and the Alfred Bauer Award-winning film The Swamp, gives a master class at the Talent Campus. Martel's complex and elliptical narratives are grounded in their treatment of the local often telling stories that visually reveal the social atmosphere that her protagonists struggle within.
