Biography
Felipe Cazals (b. 1937, Guethary, France) won a scholarship to study film at the Institut D'Hautes Etudes Cinématographiques in Paris in the early sixties. After a time he left the school and returned to Mexico, where he collaborated on the television programme La hora de Bellas Artes, for which he made his first shorts. At the end of the sixties he founded the Cine Independiente Group with Arturo Ripstein, Rafael Castanedo and Pedro F. Miret, which produced Ripstein's film The Children's Hour and Cazals's Familiarities. In 1970 he joined the film industry with Emiliano Zapata and began a body of work distinctive for exceptional cinematic intuition. In the mid-seventies he made three of the foremost Mexican films: Canoa (1973), The Hole (1975) and The Damned Sisters (1976). Later he showed his maturity in the films The Motives of Luz (1985), The Innocents (1988) and His Most Serene Highness (2002).
