Anecdotes

Writer and realizer
Silvia Prieto is the second film of Martin Rejtman, after Rapado, presented in Locarno and Rotterdam. Rejtman, which followed studies of cinema to New York, carries out a career of writer in parallel: "I never felt the need for making a distinction, probably because I do not have an academic formation which obliged me to follow a way rather than another (...) I studied the cinema, but also the History, the music and painting. I started by seeing art as a continuity and not as compartments which cannot communicate between them. It must be for this reason which I seek the same thing in a film, a book, a table or in a song. What interests me, it is what is behind, the point of view of the author."
