About the Director
Gianfranco Annichini was born in Novara Italy in 1939. He grew up in Switzerland where, at age 20, he graduated from the Ecole de Beaux Arts in Lausanne. He worked in Stockholm until 1961 when he traveled to Peru and settled down. Here, his first works were in drawing and advertising film and then took over the camera, photography or editing of countless films. In 1981, he began to direct his own documentaries, including ‘Maria of the Desert’ (1981), ‘Radio Belén’ and ‘A Bride in New York’.
