Abel Ferrara

Yes, it's that Abel Ferrara, American director of such films as 'Bad Lieutenant' and 'Born in the Bronx'. He's also quite the guitar player, and he's taking the stage for one night only in Madrid during his visit to present a film cycle dedicated to his works by Filmoteca Española.

Born in the Bronx in New York, the son of Italian immigrants, Ferrara's directed more than 30 films.
