Fuad Jorge Jury (28 May 1938 – 5 November 2012), commonly known as Leonardo Favio ([leoˈnarðo ˈfaβjo]), was an Argentine singer, actor, film director and screenwriter.

Much beloved in Latin America, he was one of the most successful Argentine singers in the 1960s and 1970s with big hits like Fuiste mía un verano, Ella, ella ya me olvidó, Quiero aprender de memoria, Ding, dong, las cosas del amor and La cita and starred in many films. His 1975 film Nazareno Cruz and the Wolf was entered into the 9th Moscow International Film Festival.

Without detriment to his outstanding career as a singer and songwriter, at the time he began to sing in public, he was already a consecrated film director. His first feature movie - Crónica de un niño solo - and the second one - El romance del Aniceto y la Francisca - compete in the consensus of Argentine critics to be considered the best Argentine movie of all times, while the agreement is almost unanimous in considering Leonardo Favio as the best Argentine movie director of all times. Later, he would film: El Dependiente, Juan Moreira, Nazareno Cruz y el Lobo, Soñar Soñar, Gatica el Mono, Perón Sinfonía de un Sentimiento and Aniceto (a valet version of El romance...) His brother is writer and director Jorge Zuhair Jury. He was married to Maria Vaner and had two children, one being the composer Nico Jury.

On October 9, 2010, Favio was appointed Argentina's Ambassador of Culture by national decree of the president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.

He died on 5 November 2012 in Buenos Aires at the age of 74.

Polin is an eleven-year-old troublemaker in reform school for unknown reasons. After suffering from harsh treatment at the hands of the staff there, Polin finally reaches a breaking point and snaps, punching one of the supervisors in the face. He is then sent to the police station where he is locked up in a cell and left alone. Polin soon breaks out and travels back to his hometown, a rural fishing village, where he meets up with his best friend and falls back into his old routine—smoking, pickpocketing, shoplifting, skinny dipping with his friends and picking fights with the neighborhood bullies—all the while trying to avoid a run-in with the law, which he knows is inevitable.

In Burning Darkness
Directed by Daniel Tinayre
Genres Drama
Actors Mirtha Legrand, Duilio Marzio, María Vaner, Leonardo Favio, Ignacio Quirós, Osvaldo Terranova

This conventional drama by director Daniel Tinayre handles a distinctive subject -- the onset of blindness in an adult -- and raises issues about the disability without diving far under the surface. The setting is an institution for the blind, and the featured protagonist is a man who rails against his misfortune, his energy and thinking distorted by a need to fight his blindness. Unhappy and unable to come to grips with his condition, he stirs a sympathetic chord in another blind inmate. She in turn, slowly enters into a relationship with him that starts to transform the ways he perceives himself and his blindness.

La vie de pauvres gosses d'un bidonville de Buenos Aires. De parents chômeurs, le vol est leur seul moyen de survie. Mais, ils agissent dans un univers hostile et dangereux : deux d'entre eux vendent une statue volée au gardien d'un cimetière qui les escroque. Ce dernier, moyennant argent, autorise, d'autre part, un couple d'adolescents amoureux à pénétrer, de nuit, dans les jardins du cimetière. Là, le garçon est battu et la fille violée par des employés. Le petit garçon Bolita, livré à lui-même, est dévoré par un cochon. Ses frères, ne le voyant pas revenir, s'en prennent au fils du directeur des pompes funèbres, censé être à l'origine de sa disparition, et finissent par le tuer.
