Claudia Llosa

“Filmmaking is challenging for men and women. In both cases, it is incredibly difficult. And gender is neither a guarantee of greater sensitivity, capacity for empathy or aperture.” By 2009, "The Milk of Sorrow", nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars, had the eyes of the film world on the young Peruvian director Claudia Llosa, who with her ability to tell a story charged with emotion and intensity in a different way, captivated audiences and critics with a unique work. Her extensive formation in the cinematographic field was what drove her to become a filmmaker and her talent, creativity and persistence have made her career grow steadily since the release of her debut film "Madeinusa" (2005). In 2014 she presents "Aloft", her first film work in english starring Cillian Murphy and Jennifer Connely, opening the Malaga Film Festival and winning the award for best cinematography, among others throughout her career.
