How to say "both of whom"?

How to say "both of whom"?

votes

I can't seem to find this anywhere. My sentence is:

"Lucrecia Martel from Argentina and Claudia Llosa from Peru, both of whom have had success across various international film festivals."

I seem to be getting "ambos de los cuales" from translators but it doesn't sound right. Can a human tell me if it makes sense or if there would be a better way?

Thanks smile

...quienes, ambas, habían...

Like in English:

Both have had....

both of who have had

whom have had...

See?

¡Hola!

"ambas de las cuales" is well said, you can use it.

I think it is the most formal and beautiful way to say that sentence. Actually, if I try to change that expression, the meaning changes a little bit, so I'd use "ambos/as de las cuales" as the best way.

Sorry for my English. I hope this will be helpful.
