Chilean director Sebastián Lelio has died unexpectedly at the age of just 52. His films GLORIA and A FANTASTIC WOMAN (Una Mujer Fantástica) were huge successes at the Berlinale; the latter also won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 2018. Sebastián Lelio lived in Berlin for several years; he arrived in 2012 through the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and later opened the South American restaurant “Gloria” in Kreuzberg.
