Camus started studying Law, but soon left his studies to enter the IIEC (now EOC) in 1956, where he got a director's diploma in 1963 with the training film El borracho (1962) and, finally, ended up as a professor. He worked with Carlos Saura in several screenplays during the early 60s (The Delinquents (1960), Llanto por un bandido (1964)), and also directed some shorts. His first feature films were Los farsantes (1963) and Young Sánchez (1964), a film about boxing -one of his passions- which won the Best Film Award at the Buenos Aires Film Festival in 1964. This way he started a three decade filmography full of great works, varying from romantic comedies and musicals to splendid adaptations from famous novels, as is the case of the prestigious TV series Fortunata y Jacinta (1980) or the film La colmena (1982), which won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival. In 1983 he was given the 'Medalla de Oro de las Bellas Artes' (Arts Gold Medal), and one year later he prepared his most successful work both with public and critic: The Holy Innocents (1984), an adaptation from the novel by Miguel Delibes. This film won the Best Actor Award for Francisco Rabal and Alfredo Landa (ex- aequo) at the Cannes Film Festival. It also won the 'Premio Nacional de Cinematografía' (National Cinematography Award) in 1985 and the 'Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts des Lettres' Award in 1986.
Camus's filmography combines films made with others with a more personal style, where he tells stories closer to him that let him go through less worn themes. That is the case of Con el viento solano (1966), Los pájaros de Baden-Baden (1975) or The Days of the Past (1977).
In the 90s he continued working with great actors and telling dramatic stories made up from complex characters living rebel or broken lives, or entering other genres like noir. Examples of this stage are La rusa (1987), Después del sueño (1992), Sombras en una batalla (1993) and Adosados (1996), a film which won the International Critic Award.- Art Department

Mick McGinty was raised just across the river from Sioux City in northeast Nebraska, and grew up in the small town of South Sioux City. His parents, Mike McGinty and Dorothy "Mudge" McGinty (née Love) were hard workers, with Mike working as an over-the-road trucker and Mudge working at the local beef packing plant, IBP. Growing up, Mick had an average exposure to art. He attended South Sioux City High School, where he was encouraged by teachers to think about pursuing a career in art because they saw promise in his work. After graduating in 1971, he spent two years in the Army, serving a year of that time in South Korea. During that time in Korea he was often asked to use his artistic talents by creating logos and murals of various kinds which was a welcome diversion from Army life. After his release from the military in mid 1973, he eventually found his way to Southern California a year later in 1974. He immediately found work at Knott's Berry Farm drawing pastel portraits at Bell's Portrait Studio. For the next three years he produced thousands of portraits and commissioned pastel paintings for visitors of the Park while also attending Fullerton Junior College. While still in Fullerton he married his wife Kerry in 1976 and after earning his AA Degree in 1977, moved to Pasadena to pursue his Bachelor of Arts Degree at Art Center College of Design. He entered as a Third Term Scholarship Student and graduated with High Honors with a BA Degree in Illustration in 1979. Soon after graduation he was hired by the legendary Willardson and White Design in Santa Monica, California. In the four years as a studio artist there, as well as the freelance he was able to begin from his illustration portfolio of hundreds of nationally known clients, he did art for Movie posters, including ones for Shock Treatment (1981), Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988), and Curse of the Pink Panther (1983), album covers such as 'Message in a Box: The Complete Recordings' by The Police and 'Restless Heart' by Whitesnake, and advertising artwork for companies such as Dr Pepper and Magic Mountain. In the 1990s he began illustrating Video Game covers, and the art that he did for the Street Fighter series is likely his best known work. Mick was diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer in August 2021. He died six weeks later on the 18th of September.- Actor
