Were Horace Ové and Luis Valdez both writers?
Horace Ové Horace Ové, CBE (born 1939), is a British filmmaker, photographer, painter and writer, one of the leading black independent film-makers to emerge in Britain since the post-war period. Ové holds the "Guinness World Record" for being the first black British film-maker to direct a feature-length film, "Pressure" (1975). In its retrospective history, "100 Years of Cinema", the British Film Institute (BFI) declared: "Horace Ové is undoubtedly a pioneer in Black British history and his work provides a perspective on the Black experience in Britain."
Francisco Machón Vilanova Francisco Machón Vilanova was a Salvadoran novelist, best known for his work "Ola roja," which concerns the role of the indigenous populations of El Salvador that were massacred in the Matanza of 1932. The novel is distinct from other works treating the Matanza, such as those by Salarrué or Claribel Alegría, in its decidedly anti-communist perspective. It was published in 1948 in México City, despite being written in San Francisco, where Machón Vilanova spent the later part of his life.
