Birri is known as the "Father of the New Latin American Cinema". He studied film at the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia in Roma, and after graduating returned to the province of Santa Fe in Argentina, where he founded the first film school specialized in documentary in Latin America. He was forced to exile due to the Argentinean military coup d'état, and lived in Italy where he shot his three-hour experimental film "Org". In 1986 he helped to found the International School of Film and Television in Cuba, and was chosen as first principal. He also taught film courses in Mexico and Venezuela, but remained in Italy, where he died.
