Biography
Jorge Luis Acha (November 10, 1946, Miramar, Buenos Aires, Argentina - October 12, 1996, Miramar, Buenos Aires, Argentina) was an Argentine plastic artist, writer, screenwriter, photographer, and filmmaker.
He studied at the "Prilidiano Pueyrredón" National School of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires where he graduated as a drawing teacher and painting teacher.
Between 1975 and 1989, he had several individual painting exhibitions in Argentina, Bulgaria, Spain, Peru and Brazil.
His feature film "Habeas Corpus" won the Bariloche First Film Festival Award in 1987.
None of his films had a commercial release and today they are considered cult films.
He also wrote about cinema in the magazines "El amigo americano" and "Biógrafo" between 1979 and 1980.
He died at the age of 49, while inspecting the land where he was going to build his future home.
