Dunav Kuzmanich Salinas (July 4, 1935, in Santiago – August 9, 2008, in Santa Fe de Antioquia)[1] was a Chilean filmmaker, screenwriter, and writer based in Colombia.

His discreet way of life, almost in anonymity, coupled with the censorship his work faced, led him to become a cult director and one of the most important figures in Colombian cinema.

[2][3][4][5] For nearly three decades, Kuzmanich's films attempted to depict the complex and violent historical events of the second half of the 20th century in Colombia.

[10] In his later years, he dedicated his time to teaching his methods at various universities in Colombia, particularly in Medellín, where he developed a significant body of cinematic work.
