Gastón Solnicki (born 1978) is an Argentine film director. Coming from an immigrant Jewish family, he studied cinema at the Fundación Universidad del Cine in Buenos Aires, and later photography at International Center of Photography, as well as film directing at Tisch School of the Arts in New York.[1]
His first feature was Liliana.Rebecca (2007), a short film made with only two actors. He later made the documentaries (2008) and Papirosen (2011), both of which were critically acclaimed.[2]
His real breakthrough, however, came with Kékszakállú (2016), his first narrative feature, which depicted the coming-of-age of a circle of adolescent girls in Buenos Aires.[3] The film was screened in the Orizzonti section at the 73rd Venice International Film Festival, yet did not win any awards. It was later shown at festivals in Rotterdam, New York, Vancouver and Thessaloniki.[1][4]
