Marco Berger
Marco Berger (born 8 December 1977) is an Argentine film director and screenwriter. He studied at the Universidad del Cine in Buenos Aires and made his directorial debut in 2007 with the short films Última voluntad and El reloj. His first feature film was Plan B (2009), which was presented on a number of film festivals (Buenos Aires, Rome, London). But it was with the film Ausente (English title Absent) in 2011 that he won "Best feature film" for what the judging committee said was "an original screenplay, an innovative aesthetic and a sophisticated approach, which creates dynamism. A unique combination of homoerotic desire, suspense and dramatic tension." Filmography
