Luis Moya Sarmiento

Luis Moya Sarmiento, a Mexican filmmaker, made his only Colombian feature film at the end of the fifties, in a country where fiction had almost disappeared since the double failure of 1955. He cast in it well-known figures from art, theatre, radio and the nascent television. Nothing else is established about him, neither a date of birth, nor a date of death, nor a second film: this is the ordinary situation of the directors of that decade without industry or archives, where each film rested on a company set up for it alone and dissolved along with it.
