Marcos Bertoni

Biography

Iconoclastic and indomitable collage artist, Marcos Bertoni has been working on his films –based on subversion and humor banking since he was 18 years old. A multifaceted person, discovered by many people thanks to the movie Avanti Pópolo (Michael Wahrmann, 2012) , is not only a filmmaker, but an architect, sculptor, writer, amateur footballer and a specialist in visual effects for film and TV: he makes the models and mock-ups, the «fake food» of the ads, and has also built objects such as wooden bicycles or reproductions of instruments of the Chinese opera. Bertoni began making films in the late ’70s, driven by the fascination of the projected images and the magic resulting from the contact with celluloid, making films of double and sharp political sense.
