Luis Ortega
Director's bio
Luis Ortega
Luis Ortega was born in Buenos Aires in 1980. At only 19 years old, he directed his first feature film, CAJA NEGRA (1999), which received multiple international awards and launched him as one of the most promising filmmakers in Argentina. Since then, he has developed a signature filmography with a unique vision. His last film, EL ÁNGEL (2018), premiered to great acclaim at the Cannes Film Festival (Un Certain Regard) and went on to become the highest grossing film in Argentina that year. KILL THE JOCKEY (2024) is his latest film.
Synopsis
Remo Manfredini is a legendary jockey, but his self-destructive behaviour is beginning to outshine his talent and threaten his relationship with his girlfriend Abril. On the day of the most important race of his career that will clear him of his debts from his mobster boss Sirena, he has a severe accident, disappears from the hospital and wanders the streets of Buenos Aires. Free from his identity, he starts to discover who he is truly meant to be. But Sirena wants him found, dead or alive.
