Camilo Correa

Camilo Correa was born in Medellín in 1919 and first became a critic, in his city's major newspaper and then in the magazine he founded in 1948, in which he defended for years the idea of a Colombian cinema against the monopoly of imported films. He set up his own production company, which lasted from 1947 to 1955, produced newsreels and documentaries there, then a single fiction feature, which brought the company down with it. Having moved from ink to the camera, he lost his career there. He died in 1986.
