Biography

Alberto Monteagudo (Montevideo, 1940) is a Uruguayan-Venezuelan animation filmmaker, designer, and visual artist who has been based in Venezuela since 1969. He began his audiovisual career in Uruguay during the 1960s, working in television and participating in some of the country’s earliest experiments with plasticine animation before relocating to Venezuela, where he developed most of his cinematic and teaching career. There, he formed part of a generation of Latin American filmmakers — including fellow Uruguayans Jorge Solé, Ugo Ulive, and Mario Handler — who played a significant role in the development of modern Venezuelan cinema through formal experimentation, independent production practices, and audiovisual training. His best-known work is the stop-motion animated short El cuatro de hojalata (1978), which received an award at the International Festival of New Latin American Cinema in Havana.
