Fabián Bielinsky (3 February 1959 – 29 June 2006) was an Argentine film director born in Buenos Aires.
He started to make films early in his life, while still a high school student in the Colegio Nacional Buenos Aires, after graduation he started studying psychology, a career he shortly followed and dropped out in favor to enroll in the Centro de Experimentacion y Realizacion Cinematografica (CERC, Actually ENERC, INCAA's film school), to later graduate from such institution in 1983 with a short film called La Espera.
He directed his first film, 9 Queens (original title Nueve Reinas) in 2000, and the second one, El Aura, in 2005, which he was going to present in Edinburgh, at the International Film Festival a month later.
Bielinsky died from a heart attack, in 2006, at only 47 years of age, while he was in São Paulo, Brazil, doing a casting for an advertisement.
His films were shown worldwide to very excellent reviews, while his work is more appreciated in his country of origin for finding a way to make an entertaing yet thoughtful storytelling that grips the viewer; in an industry where the film offers are more polarized between overtly intellectual author's cinema and the apparently content-lacking commercial films.
