Victor
Gaviria (standing right), Colombian
filmmaker, addresses the audience after
the evening screening of his critically
acclaimed "The Rose Sellers."
|
Victor
Gaviria, a film director from Medellin, Colombia discussed
his work
with "natural actors" who essentially play themselves in two gritty
urban films: Rodrigo D. No Future (1990) and The Rose Seller (1998).
His
films are a true testament of his humanitarian effort to immortalize the
short lives of urban youth for whom life and death are blended so thoroughly
as to create a street culture that has come to replace the traditional family
and home life.

Mr.
Gaviria talks with a gathering in the
Center's conference room about the role
of cinema in present-day Colombia, and
the influence of his work on the lives
of his "natural actors."
