Fabián Bielinsky (3 February 1959 – 29 June 2006) was an Argentine film director born in Buenos Aires.
He started to make films early in his life, while still a high school student in the Colegio Nacional Buenos Aires, after graduation he started studying psychology, a career he shortly followed and dropped out in favor to enroll in the Centro de Experimentacion y Realizacion Cinematografica (CERC, actually ENERC, INCAA's film school), to later graduate from such institution in 1983 with a short film called La Espera.
He directed his first film, Nine Queens (original title Nueve Reinas) in 2000, and the second one, El Aura, in 2005, which he was going to present in Edinburgh, at the International Film Festival a month later. Both films starred Ricardo Darín in the lead role and Alejandro Awada in a supporting role.
Bielinsky died from a heart attack, in 2006, at only 47 years of age, while he was in São Paulo, Brazil, doing a casting for an advertisement.
Although having only directed one short and two feature films, his work was shown worldwide to very excellent reviews, while his work is more appreciated in his country of origin for finding a way to make an entertaining yet thoughtful storytelling that grips the viewer; in an industry where the film offers are more polarized between overtly intellectual auteur cinema and the apparently content-lacking commercial films.
