Biography
Martel studied at Avellaneda Experimental (AVEX) and then attended the National Experimentation Filmmaking School (ENERC) in Buenos Aires.[3]
Yet, because one of the film schools she attended closed for lack of funds, she maintains she was self-taught. Martel said, "I watched movies, I read books, I wrote. I was a free mind, because I had to be."[4]
She directed a number of short films between 1988 and 1994. The award winning short film Rey Muerto (Dead King) (1995) was part of Historias Breves I (Brief Tales I).
Her debut film
La Ciénaga received several international awards, and
The Holy Girl was selected for competition at the
Cannes Film Festival in 2004.
She was a member of the Cannes Film Festival Feature Films Jury in 2006.
