The Creative Duo: López Díaz & De Mingo Since the inception of their strategic alliance, they have developed a distinct directorial voice rooted in long-form observational cinema, narrative patience, and impeccable visual craft. Together, they have successfully navigated the international non-fiction short film circuit with a filmography that explores human rights and resilience in geographies at the edge:
Cuninico, Where the Jungle Turns Black: An incisive and stylized portrait of the human and environmental impact of oil spills in the Peruvian Amazon, widely acclaimed in human rights forums.
The Mothers of Pacha Mama: An observational exploration of identity, cultural roots, and female leadership within indigenous communities, and their resistance against intrusive mining on their land.
The Pink Cup: A documentary addressing period poverty and the fight against gender inequality. Filmed in Chad, it serves as the methodological blueprint for the development of their debut feature film.
The Olympic Team: Four young girls from Chad receive athletic scholarships to train in Spain, aiming for the Paris 2024 Olympics. When a global pandemic and geopolitical conflict strand them in Madrid for two and a half years, this observational documentary shifts from a sports chronicle to a study of displacement and identity. Ultimately, their journey transcends athletic results, sparking the creation of Chad's first gymnastics federation and driving systemic social change
