Daniel Díaz Torres was born in Havana in 1948 and died in 2013. An internationally recognized writer and director, Díaz Torres began working at the Cuban film institute ICAIC in 1968, first as a film critic and later as a director’s assistant and instructor. After focusing on documentaries, he made his feature film debut with Jíbaro in 1985. But it was Alicia en el Pueblo de las Maravillas — one of the most controversial films in Cuban film history — that brought him international recognition. Since the mid-1980s, Daniel Díaz Torres has been considered one of Cuba’s most important filmmakers. The Film of Ana is his final feature.
