Passionate about cinema, she abruptly put her studies on hold to go to Paris to represent the new Argentine film archive at an international convention and later became a correspondent for different Argentine newspapers. She met Abel Gance in 1954, who gave her the opportunity to work on the film <i>La tour de Nesle</i>.<br /><br />She became his assistant during the film and showed the program <i>Magirama</i> (triple screen) in Polyvision, then, still at Abel Gance's side, she collaborated with him on <i>Austerlitz</i>. He trusted her with the direction of all the second crew's action scenes during the filming of his movie <i>Cyrano et d'Artagnan</i>.<br /><br />Meanwhile, she published her work about <i>Magirama</i> under the name <i>Le Manifeste d'un art nouveau</i>, with a preface by Philippe Soupault. In 1960, she published a film report entitled<i> Le Sunlight of Austerlitz</i>, through the Plon publishing house.<br /><br />Starting in 1961, she directed an entire series of art shorts, which won numerous prizes in various international festivals. Among these shorts were "Gustave Moreau," a brilliant analysis of a genius painter at the origin of essentially all modern art; "Rudolphe Bresdin," the engraver; "Dessins et merveilles," on the sketchbooks of Victor Hugo, as well as "Les années 25 ", " La Nouvelle Orangerie " ; "Abel Gance hier et demain ", " A la source, la femme aimée ", titles based on the secret notebooks of the painter André Masson.<br /><br />(from Wikipedia)
