Biography

Juan Guerrero Sánchez (Mexico City, 1936 – United States, 1970), better known simply as Juan Guerrero, was a Mexican filmmaker. He studied Architecture at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and earned a Master's degree in Urban Planning at the Sorbonne in Paris. Upon returning to Mexico, he joined the UNAM as a professor, but in 1961, he returned to the Sorbonne for a year, this time to study film. He later enrolled at the University Center for Cinematographic Studies (CUEC/UNAM) and became part of the first generation of students at the school, where he made his first short film, El Verano de la Mariposa (The Summer of the Butterfly) (1964). Guerrero was also a professor at the CUEC and the founder and director of the Casa del Lago Film Club. Juan Guerrero Sánchez was only able to make three more feature films: Amelia (1964), Mariana (1967) and Narda o El Verano (1968) - released in theaters on March 5, 1970 -, since he would die of cancer in 1970. At the time of his death he was married to the actress (and later television host) Lourdes Guerrero, with whom he had a son.
