Israel Adrián Caetano (born 1969 in Montevideo, Uruguay) is a Uruguayan film director, producer and screenplay writer. He's often credited as Adrián Caetano. [ [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0128382/ Israel Adrián Caetano] at the Internet Movie Database.]

He works mainly in the cinema of Argentina and at times obtains funding for his films in Europe. He lives in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Biography

At age of sixteen his family moved to Córdoba, Argentina. When older he shot several short videos including "Visite Carlos Paz," and "Calafate".

In 1995 Caetano won a prize in a script contest he entered. The money won allowed him to film the short "Down Hill" ("Cuesta abajo"), his first work filmed in 35mm. "Pizza, Beer, and Cigarettes" (1998, co-directed with Bruno Stagnaro) followed. The film was well received at the various film festivals it screened.

In 1996 Caetano won a Media Arts Fellowship, funded by the Rockefeller Foundation in New York. [ [http://mediaartists.org/content.php?sec=artist&sub=detail&artist_id=581 Media Arts Fellowships] web site.]

Caetano also directs television commercial and programs. [ [http://www.cinematropical.com/distribution/boliviaexpanded.htm Cinema Tropical] , "Bolivia," about the director section.]

In 2005 Caetano returned to Uruguay to shoot the mini-series "Uruguayos Campeones" for television. [ [http://www.emanuellevy.com/article.php?articleID=3875 Levy, Emanuel] . Profile of Israel Adrián Caetano.]

New Argentine cinema

Film critic Manohla Dargis, writing for the "Los Angeles Times," calls Caetano "a leading figure in the new Argentine cinema." She notes that Caetano's first feature, the 1998 release of "Pizza, Beer, Cigarettes," helped jump-start a "New Argentine Cinema." [ [http://www.calendarlive.com/movies/reviews/cl-et-manohla6jun06,0,1807543.story Dargis, Manohla] . "Los Angeles Times," film review, June 6, 2003.]

His first full length film, "Bolivia" (2001) was well received by film critics. Yet, it took three years to produce the film due to budget constraints.

His film "Chronicle of an Escape," the true story of four men who narrowly escaped death at the hands of Argentina's military death squads during the 1970s, was released in 2006. The film was a major box office success in Argentina, and was screened at the Cannes Film Festival and the Toronto Film Festival. [ [http://www.allmovie.com/cg/avg.dll?p=avg&sql=1:350357 Deming, Mark] . "Allmovie, film review.] It has won and been nominated for numerous awards.
