\nBorn in Chihuahua in 1931, Lucrecia Gonz\u00e1lez Mu\u00f1oz worked as a make-up artist, actress and model. At a young age, she started modeling for Pep\u00edn, the first photo-novel, and for television. She continued on as an actress, playing roles next to the stars of Golden Age Cinema, like Tin-Tan, Pedro Armend\u00e1riz (Senior) and Jorge Negrete.
\nShe moved into make-up, becoming one of the most recognized in the industry. She worked on over 150 films in Mexico and abroad, earning her the first Ariel Award from the Academy of Film Arts and Sciences (AMACC) for Best Make-Up in the 1993 film \u201cMiroslava.\u201d Subsequently, she was nominated three times for the same award for \u201c\u00c1ngel de Fuego,\u201d \u201cEn el aire\u201d and \u201cJuego limpio.\u201d She worked on Mexican soap operas, like \u201cNada personal,\u201d \u201cMirada de mujer,\u201d \u201cEl amor de mi vida\u201d and \u201cTodo por amor.\u201d

Maryse Sistach<\/b><\/p>\n

\"958_1\"There is no better occasion than the Guanajuato International Film Festival to pay homage to Maryse Sistach. When it comes to discussing the evolution and progress that women have made in film and television, Maryse Sistach has one of the most extensive film careers and manifests a deep commitment to changing the way women are portrayed on the screen and to addressing the gender issues that women face today.
\nShe has gone beyond the stereotypes and the conventional stories about women\u2019s social issues, in order to explore women\u2019s real experiences. And this is the way she has done it from the beginning. As a student at the Centro de Capacitaci\u00f3n Cinematogr\u00e1fica, she made \u201cY si platicamos de Agosto,\u201d which won the Ariel Award, marking the onset of a successful career.
\nShe directed her first feature independently. \u201cConozco a las tres\u201d is a story about rape, a topic she would explore again in future films. Next, was \u201cLos pasos de Ana,\u201d a film about a single mother who tries to survive in a job world that is hostile toward women. In 1991, she co-wrote and directed \u201cAnoche so\u00f1\u00e9 contigo,\u201d which takes a new look at teenage sexual awakening.
\nIn 1997, she collaborated on \u201cEl cometa,\u201d a Spanish, French and Mexican co-production, which she co-wrote with Jos\u00e9 Buil and Consuelo Garrido. From 2000 to 2006, she developed a film trilogy that addresses the sexual violence that teenage girls in Mexico suffer: \u201cPerfume de violetas (nadie te oye)\u201d in 2000, \u201cManos libres (nadie te habla)\u201d in 2004 and \u201cLa ni\u00f1a en la piedra (nadie te ve)\u201d in 2006. Through these films, Maryse Sistach skillfully constructed her perspective on feminist issues.
\nHer most recent work, \u201cLluvia de Luna,\u201d released in 2013, illustrates a fresh outlook, narrating how a mother\u2019s desire can be so great that through some sort of spell, she can free her daughter from her state of limbo and allow her to roam the earth.
\nIn light of Maryse Sistach\u2019s vast and profound film career, the Women\u2019s Film and Television Association would like to honor the woman who has not only contributed to the film industry, she has contributed to society.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
