Director

Jesús Mora

Born 1964 · Madrid, Spain

After a few years of work in the industry, Jesús Mora (Madrid, 1964) debuted in the direction with A tiro limpio (1996), the version of a Spanish policeman of the sixties, and two years later directed the documentary Arrebatos, which relives the filming of the film by Ivan Zulueta. With My Sweet (2000) returns to fiction to tell the story of two sisters faced, halfway between the drama and, again, the police plot. Operation Algeciras (2004) documents the impossible attack that was intended to end the Falklands war. In the three characters live off-site, with the clear intentions and the wrong course, fought with a law that banishes them. With Villa Tranquila (2007), Jesús Mora climbs one more step in his approach to the territory where cinema and life meet, because for him life and cinema can only be the same.
