Kathryn Bigelow

She was born in San Carlos (California, United States) in 1951 as the daughter of a director of a painting company and a librarian. She studied at Columbia University, began her artistic career as a painter and some of her works were exhibited at the Whitney Museum in New York. She is member of the radical group 'Art and Language' and publishes the theoretical magazine 'Semiotext'. She also was police officer before dedicating to the movies. Kathryn Bigelow is considered as an atypical director, her interests belong to the action cinema, but also the warlike, futuristic, thriller or even horror. Her films have not always been critically acclaimed. She won the Academy Award for Best Director in 2010 for 'The Hurt Locker', being the first woman (and only one so far) which won in this genre.
