María Camila Loboguerrero (Bogotá, 1941) is a Colombian film director, screenwriter and editor. She was the first woman in Colombia to enter the film industry as a feature film director. Camila began her fine arts studies at the Universidad de los Andes in Bogota and later traveled to Paris where she studied art history at the Sorbonne in France, where she met film personalities of that country and became interested in filmmaking, which led her to pursue a degree in cinematography at the University of Vincennes in France, later specializing in film directing, educational filmmaking and anthropological and documentary filmmaking in Paris. In 1971, Camila returned to Colombia and after overcoming some difficulties, she made her first fiction feature film, Con su música a otra parte, 1984, with the support of the now defunct state entity FOCINE. In 1990 she made her second short film, María Cano, about the first woman political leader in Colombia. During the nineties, Camila Loboguerrero developed a wide variety of documentaries, short and medium-length films that have won awards at different festivals. In 2001 she was art director and producer of the film Los niños invisibles by Lisandro Duque. After a long absence from directing feature films due in part to the lack of support for filmmakers after the closure of FOCINE, Camila resumed this activity thanks to the film law passed in 2003 and shot the feature film Nochebuena with the support of the film fund. The film was released in December 2008.
