Luis César D'Angiolillo ( Santa Fe , Argentina , 1944 - Buenos Aires , idem., October 24 , 2016 ) was an editor and film director with a long career in his country. He was married to María Inés Teyssie, who after starting as a fixed photographer became the first director of photography in Argentina and her son Julián D'Angiolillo has already directed the films Make me fairground and Body of letter .

Professional activity

Film lover, studied with Octavio Getino and Juan José StagnaroAnd seeing the difficulties to get to direct a film, he became an editor to learn from the inside a trade that he found fascinating and in this regard he said in a report: “… the grammar of cinema has to do with the rules of editing. It is an art that consists of ordering chaos. You have to build the continuity of the film, which is dispersed in the different shots and planes of each scene, in those images and sounds. The narration of the film is armed with this puzzle of images ”. The assembly work gave him financial support and was preparing him for the direction. Unlike someone who begins to work with a camera, whoever was an editor already knows, when filming it, how he is going to use the material, although he can alter it on the fly. ^{[ 1 ]}

At the end of the 1960s he began his work in the cinema as an editor, intervening in almost 50 films, winning three times the Silver Condor Award from the Association of Cinematographic Cronistas de Argentina for Best Editing. ^{[ 1 ]} After five years of negotiations with producers and preparing nine versions of the script, he achieved the economic and artistic conditions that would allow him to film his debut feature, Matar al abuelito(1993), which was not a box office success, but received critical acclaim, both nationally and internationally. Several years passed during which the incorporation of digital transformed the way of making films and allowed the costs of making films to be lowered at the same time that their language was modified. In 2000, he won the INCAA award for best screenplay and was able to film Potestad , an adaptation of the work by Tato Pavlovsky in which he himself starred and in 2007 he filmed Norma Arrostito, la Gaby , a mixture of documentary and fiction with Julieta Díaz in the role leading role, films for which he received several awards. ^{[ 1 ]} Producer Diego Dubcovsky said that D'Angiolillo was:

a very warm and generous guy. In a very vertical industry where nobody treated you like a peer, he had a very affectionate treatment ... he was obsessive at work, in the adjustment of each shot, and he was not afraid to disarm the preconceptions from the script to looking for new paths ... very intuitive but also very trained, he played his role as a collaborator very well, and above all, something that showed his humility is that he could work on a narrative line for weeks, realize that it was the wrong one and change course again without fear of saying he was wrong. ^{[ 1 ]}

D'Angiolillo passed away from a long-standing cancer in Buenos Aires on October 24, 2016.
