El Filmador
Director of Photography
Between 1950 and 1952, the Uruguayan essayist, critic and writer José Pedro Díaz created a film diary with images that display a range of diverse interests: social observation, the portrait of the artistic-intellectual community in Europe and a look at domestic cinema from travels, portraying his wife, the poet Amanda Berenguer. As a perfect complement he also had a literary diary. Both form a unique testimonial chronicle: how to read the script and see what was filmed. This documentary deals with that lesser-known area of Díaz's work.
Un tal Eduardo
Director of Photography
An emotional visual portrait starring fans of the most important melodic singer-songwriter that Uruguay had, the founder and leader of Los Iracundos, Eduardo Franco.
The Marriage
Director of Photography
An intimate documentary portrait of an exceptional couple who live in a suburb of Montevideo: Julia, a 65-year-old transsexual whose new gender identity has finally been recognised (after twelve years) by the Uruguayan state, and Ignacio, her lover, a former construction worker with a troubled past. Inseparable for 20 years, the couple are now preparing for marriage. Aldo Garay’s camera follows Julia and Ignacio’s joys and worries, patiently revealing the sources of the strength of their relationship.
The Parsleys
Camera Operator
Within the context of the uruguayan press, there's a group of people named "Perejiles". These attend launching parties, inaugurations and all other sorts of events within the uruguayan press with the purpose of free eating. Under a, supposedly, "journalistic patent", their appearance goes unnoticed by most attending these events, except for the press teams consisting of reporters, camera men and drivers or assistants who clearly recognize them and reject their presence.
