With five full-length feature films and a handful of short works, Uruguayan director Federico Veiroj has managed to compile an altogether distinctive, fascinating cinematographic oeuvre. Born and raised in Montevideo, he graduated in Social Communications from the Catholic University of Montevideo. In 2008, he co-produced and directed his first feature, Acné, which premiered in the Directors’ Fortnight at Cannes. His other directing credits include A Useful Life (2010), The Apostate (2015), Belmonte (2018), and The Moneychanger (2019). His work has screened at numerous international film festivals including Cannes, Rotterdam, San Sebastian, Toronto, New York, Morelia, and Mar del Plata.

TropiChat 20 is a special series of twenty weekly conversations with key Latin American and U.S. Latinx directors and film professionals, presented on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of Cinema Tropical.

Co-presented by the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies at New York University (CLACS) powered by Pirotecnia Films.
