Pour tout l'or des Andes (2010)
From the plains of the Huasco Valley to the Atacama Desert and the mines of northern Chile, the narrator gathers the testimonies of farmers, neighbors, small landowners and political leaders. In the surrounding area and in the Pascua Lama gold mine itself, called The Treasure of America because of the enormous gold reserves it holds, the action is centred. The investigation is possible thanks to the access to the Canadian multinational Barrick Gold whose reports on the environment will be questioned.

Inasible María Félix (2001)
Untouchable, inaccessible, ungraspable... Maria Felix is one of the great myths of Latin American cinema. Fatal passions, multiple marriages, sudden deaths and fabulous diamonds, these are the components of the legendary life of this artist. Through the excerpts of her films and the archive material we can understand her characters and how this life of splendor also led her to the high solitude of her mansions, temples of her cultures.

La embajada (2019)

El País de mi padre (2004)
In 2002, Carmen Castillo returned to Chile and did a memory exercise centred on the life of her father Fernando Castillo Velasco, former rector of Universidad Católica de Chile and Premio Nacional de Arquitectura (1983). This film tells the story of this return centred on the desire to get closer to the mystery of the life and work of an enlightened man. It is the time for a memory, not an expeditious biography. Fernando recounts excerpts from his life, his work as an architect, university rector and mayor of La Reina. From the "Fifth", the place of childhood, he remembers with sincerity and simplicity. Like a watchman, like a lighthouse, he illuminates our present, like a compass shows us the way to build a world where affection and social justice prevail.

El camino del inca (2002)
The 23,000km long route of the Incas laces its way through the Cordillera range of the Andes. This road network served as the major means of transport, of communication and of government administration in the history of pre-colonialist America. The film covers three periods that deeply marked this region and its Indian tribes. Three phases, three eras for a road, and a history of violence and injustice that constantly repeats itself. Crystallizing the spirit of the conquests that took place in the Atacama Desert, a Peruvian prince once said in regard to the Indians: “We must spare our enemies or we will hurt ourselves, because they will soon be ours with all that is theirs”. In visualizing this statement, it is easy for us to imagine what hell the men of these lands endured during centuries of invasion and submission.

Cuba en suspens (2017)
Today, as in the spring of 2016, when this film was shot, the debate about the future of the island encourages Cuba and its inhabitants. A journey into the thoughts and stories of the Cubans of the interior reveals the complexity of the Cuban reality and its uncertainties in the face of a future that is far from being mapped out beforehand. This documentary analyzes the situation in Cuba after the reestablishment of relations with the United States, which began in 2014 and was initiated by the president of the United States, Barack Obama, and the Cuban head of state, Raúl Castro
