Biography
Born in Hernani (Guipúzcoa), October 27th, 1934, Elías Querejeta is one of the most important producers in Spanish cinema. He has also worked as a screenwriter and documentary maker and in his youth he was a footballer for Real Sociedad, a team he played with in the Spanish league’s First Division (1952-1958). Since 1963, the year he created his own company, he has produced over fifty films, many of which contributed to the renovation of subjects and forms in Spanish cinema during the late part of Franco’s regime and the transition. But his most important contribution to movie making was undoubtedly his work for Carlos Saura, Víctor Erice, Manuel Gutiérrez Aragón, Julio Médem, Fernando León de Aranoa, his daughter, Gracia Querejeta. Among the awards he obtained is the gold medal from the Spanish Academy of Film Sciences, that he was given in 1998.
