**Biography: Nicolás Entel**
Nicolás Entel is an acclaimed documentary filmmaker from Buenos Aires, Argentina, widely recognised for his powerful storytelling and his ability to portray complex social realities through deeply human narratives. From an early age he developed a passion for cinema that led him to study film and television production at the National University of La Plata, where he refined his craft and cultivated a strong sense of narrative and social awareness.
His career began in the late 1990s with his first documentary about Argentina’s cultural and social dynamics, a work that revealed his talent for connecting personal experiences with broader social themes. Over time he built a solid reputation both in his home country and internationally for creating films that balance emotional intimacy with a clear social perspective.
Among his most recognised works is *The Last Escape* (2007), a documentary that follows a group of young adults struggling to reintegrate into society after incarceration. The film exposes the structural challenges of the criminal justice system in Argentina and was praised at international festivals for its honesty and empathy.
Entel continued exploring human resilience with *The Resilience of the Spirit* (2010), a moving film that portrays individuals who have overcome severe adversity. Through careful interviews and intimate direction, he captures the essence of strength and dignity in the face of hardship.
In 2015 he released *The Untold Story*, which examines historical injustices suffered by marginalised communities in Argentina and encourages reflection on the country’s social and political evolution. The documentary received critical acclaim and reinforced his status as one of the leading voices in contemporary Latin American documentary filmmaking.
Beyond his film work, Entel has collaborated with NGOs and international organisations to raise awareness of issues such as poverty, inequality and human rights. His films are not only cinematic works but also educational tools that inspire audiences to question, understand and participate in the search for a fairer world.
Throughout his career Nicolás Entel has received numerous awards and distinctions that recognise both his artistic excellence and his commitment to social truth.
