Mario Handler

Mario Handler

Mario Handler was born on November 10, 1935 in Montevideo, Uruguay. He is a renowned filmmaker and photographer, considered by many to be the pioneer of Uruguayan militant cinema. He made his debut film "Vanguardista" in 1958. Afterwards he traveled to Germany where he did an internship in scientific cinema at the IWF (Institut für den Wissenschaftlichen Film). Later, in Czechoslovakia he made a documentary called In Prague. He focused primarily on class struggles. Some of his first works are "Carlos" (1964), a film-portrait of a homeless man, "Me Gustan Los Estudiantes" (1968) and "Liber Arce, Liberation" (1969) about the student protests. In 1972 he goes into exile to Venezuela due to the imminent rise to power of the military forces and the subsequent coup. Handler's later work in Venezuela involves themes of colonial domination and cultural roots, and examinations on forms of syncretism and popular religiosity. After several years of exile, he returned to Uruguay in 1999, where he directed several feature-lenght documentaries like Aside (2002) and Broken columns (2015). In 2000 he became a professor in Audiovisual Cinema at the University of the Republic.
