Biography
Raoul Ruiz (b. 1941, Puerto Montt, Chile) studied technology and law at university in Santiago, then attended film school in Santa Fé, Argentina. Prior to this he wrote nearly 100 theatre plays (1956-62), but his first career move was as a writer in Chilean and Mexican television. In 1971-72 he was film adviser in Allende's government. From 1973 until the fall of Pinochet's regime he worked abroad, mainly in France. Ruiz's work is marked by eclecticism and a diversity of genres, and he has become the most prolific (approx. 50 feature, 10 medium-length, and 40 short films) as well as the most artistically interesting Latin American filmmaker of the past 30 years. His first feature film, Three Sad Tigers (Los tres tristes tigres, 1968), took the Main Prize at the 1969 Locarno IFF, and Genealogies of a Crime (Généalogies d´un crime, 1997) was awarded with a Silver Bear at the 1997 Berlinale. He is a film theorist, teacher and man of letters.
