Eduardo Montes-Bradley (born July 1960) is a documentary filmmaker born in Córdoba, whose work focuses on biographical, cultural, and historical subjects. He is co-founder of Heritage Film Project and resides in Charlottesville. In addition to his work in film, he is the author of Cortázar sin barba, a literary biography of Julio Cortázar published by Random House Mondadori. His most recent works include The Piccirilli Factor, a film about the Italian-American sculptors,[1] and Black Fiddlers. He is also known for directing Evita (2008), Rita Dove: An American Poet, Harto the Borges, and Daniel Chester French: American Sculptor[2] made possible with the support of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.[3][4] Among Montes-Bradley’s other documentary works is his biographical film on civil rights leader Julian Bond.[5]

Early life

According to USA-Painter, Eduardo Montes-Bradley’s background has played a crucial role in shaping his approach to filmmaking.[6] Raised in Buenos Aires, his mother was of Eastern European descent, the daughter of Jewish immigrants who arrived in Argentina during the interwar period. His father, Nelson, was of mixed heritage, descended from Italian, Galician, and New England families who had settled in Buenos Aires in the first half of the 19th century. Nelson was one of the founders of Discos Qualiton, where he worked in 1974 while attending public school. Montes-Bradley’s theatrical debut in documentary film was his biographical film on Osvaldo Soriano.[7]

Career

In a 1996 appearance on CNN, hosted by Ismael Cala, Montes-Bradley described his work creating documentary films about underrepresented stories as a continuation of the work his father and his partners at Discos Qualiton were doing by publishing underrepresented works of otherwise well-known European composers and less-known vernacular composers such as Carlos Guastavino and Alberto Ginastera.[8]

In 1986, Montes-Bradley founded The Entertainment Herald, a bilingual magazine based in Los Angeles catering to the film industry. Between 1988 and 1991, he produced and directed two films distributed by TriStar Pictures. In 1995, he produced and directed El Secuestro, his last fiction feature film.[citation needed]

In 1998, with the support of the ministries of culture in Argentina, Mexico, and Brazil, Montes-Bradley founded Contrakultura Films, which produced over 20 feature documentary films on Latin American writers, artists, and cultural traditions. In 2008, he established Heritage Film Project with producer Soledad Liendo. Heritage Film Project has since produced several films with the support of the Documentary Film Fund and others.[citation needed]
