About Nelly Kaplan
Nelly Kaplan was an Argentine-born French writer and film director who focused on the arts, film, and filmmakers. She studied economics at the University of Buenos Aires. Passionate about cinema, she abruptly put her studies on hold to go to Paris in 1953 to represent the new Argentine film archive at an international convention and later became a correspondent for different Argentine newspapers. She had arrived with a resume highlighting her journalistic experience and a letter of introduction to Henri Langlois, founder and curator of the Cinémathèque Française, who introduced her to Abel Gance. Gance gave her the opportunity to work on the film La tour de Nesle.
