Alberto Fischerman

Alberto Fischerman (1937–1995) was an Argentine film director and advertising filmmaker. Much of his professional training and career took place in the advertising industry, where he worked as a director.

In the late 1960s, he became a member of the Grupo de los Cinco (Group of Five), alongside Ricardo Becher, Néstor Paternostro, Raúl de la Torre, and Juan José Stagnaro, filmmakers united by a desire to renew the forms and modes of production of Argentine cinema.

He made his feature-film debut with *The Players vs. Ángeles Caídos* (1969), which became the foremost representative of the aesthetic avant-garde in Argentine cinema of the period. Throughout his career, he directed films of widely varying styles, alternating between works of greater formal radicalism and more narrative-oriented productions, while continuing his work in advertising and television.
