Eduardo Montes-Bradley (born July 1960) is a documentary filmmaker whose work focuses on biographical, cultural, and historical subjects. He is co-founder of Heritage Film Project and currently lives 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 behind many of the most iconic monuments in the United States,[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]

Early life

[edit]

Eduardo Montes-Bradley was raised in Buenos Aires in a home of mixed heritage. 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 himself, 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 Eduardo had his first job in 1974 while concurrently attending public school.

Career

[edit]

In a 1996 appearance on CNN en Español's Cala (hosted by Ismael Cala), Montes-Bradley revealed that his passion for creating documentary films that mirror the voices of underrepresented stories was, in his view, a continuation of the work his father and his partners were doing by publishing underrepresented works of otherwise well-known European composers and less-known vernacular composers such as Carlos Guastavino and Alberto Ginastera. 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 Columbia. In 1995, he produced and directed El Secuestro, his last fiction feature film. 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 about 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 other philanthropic institutions and individuals. These films are distributed to a worldwide audience through public television, and public and academic libraries, and are available through Kanopy Streaming and Alexander Street Press.
