Abstract

The Venezuelan Margot Benacerraf directed, in the 1950s, two films of great repercussion. There are many relationships between the director's film project and Nuevo Cine Latinoamericano (NCL). However, Benacerraf is hardly mentioned in publications about this movement. We intend to demonstrate that: 1) Benacerraf is a (non) pioneer of Nuevo Cine Latinoamericano; 2) she has been connected in many ways with the NCL, its events and participants; and 3) her invisibility in the movement's history is due to different aspects of the sexism that structures Latin America, and makes women's careers invisible and disruptive.
