V\u00edctor Erice is<\/strong> a Spanish film director. After getting a degree in Political Science from the University of Madrid, he\u00a0began\u00a0studies at the\u00a0Instituto de Investigaciones y Experiencias Cinematogr\u00e1ficas, graduating\u00a0in 1963 with\u00a0a diploma in short-film direction.\u00a0His film The Spirit of the Beehive<\/em> (1973) earned\u00a0Erice the title of\u00a0one of the most intriguing directors in new Spanish cinematography and one of the most important of all time. Another film, El sur<\/em> (1983), based on a short\u00a0story by\u00a0Adelaida Garc\u00eda Morales, surpassed all expectations and became a cinematic masterpiece. After a period of prolonged inactivity,\u00a0he directed El sol del membrillo<\/em> in 1992, an experimental feature film about painter Antonio L\u00f3pez. The film won awards at the Festival de Cannes.<\/p>\n

With a film career\u00a0whose brevity can only be attributed to Erice’s resolve\u00a0not to fold under\u00a0a system that limited freedom of creation, the quality of his works exalted\u00a0him to a\u00a0level\u00a0of\u00a0Spanish cinema\u00a0reached only before by Luis Bu\u00f1uel, and to a lesser extent Luis G. Berlanga and Carlos Saura. In 1996, he was awarded\u00a0The Gold Medal of Merit in the Fine Arts by the Spanish Ministry of Culture. In 2002, he published and presented the controversial\u00a0script\u00a0Alumbramiento<\/em>, a 10 minute short included in the compilation film Ten Minutes Older<\/em>.<\/p>\n
