Tatiana Gaviola is a documentary filmmaker and television director. She studied at the School of Communication Arts of the Universidad Católica de Chile. During the years of the dictatorship, she stands out among the numerous group of women who developed an active work in the filming of documentaries, relying on the format -video- which appeared at that time as the most feasible way, and in some cases, the only one, in audiovisual work. In 1988 he directed Ángeles, a medium-length fiction film based on an investigation of a group of missing students. Years later he made the feature film Mi último hombre, a film in which the political conflict is treated in the form of a thriller. In 2009 he released Teresa, a feature film based on the life of Teresa Wilms Montt, a national poetess of the first half of the twentieth century, famous for her beauty and tragic end.
