Abel Ferrara

Guest at NFF 2007
Born in the Bronx, Ferrara started making amateur films on Super 8 in his teens before making his debut with violent exploitation films such as Driller Killer and Ms.45. Good reviews for the latter helped create his cult reputation, leading to larger budgets, studio funding and 'name' actors (Christopher Walken, Harvey Keitel), but he still likes taking his camera out into the meanest streets of New York, as the ultra-cheap, highly controversial Bad Lieutenant demonstrates.
