Biography
In 1914, while Europe’s cannons were still warm, a Costa-Rican camera turned toward Florencia Quesada and captured her for posterity in *Amalia*, the country’s first feature-length fiction film. One reel of nitrate is all that remains of her screen moment, yet that single credit secures her place as the silver-screen foremother of Central American cinema.
