About Lamberto V. Avellana
- Lamberto Vera Avellana (February 12, 1915 – April 25, 1991) was a prominent Filipino film and stage director.
- Despite considerable budgetary limitations that hampered the post-war Filipino film industry, Avellana's films such as Anak Dalita and Badjao attained international acclaim.
- In 1976, Avellana was named by President Ferdinand Marcos as the very first National Artist of the Philippines for Film.
- While Avellana remains an important figure in Filipino cinema, his reputation as a film director has since been eclipsed by the next wave of Filipino film directors who emerged in the 1970s, such as Lino Brocka and Ishmael Bernal.
