Director Biography - Nico Muñoz, Cristiano Navarro, An Baccaert

In 2014, the combination of my Academy training in documentary and my curiosity for new ways of telling stories pulled me away from the breaking news cycle. I then adapted my journalism experience into a modern storytelling style that takes advantage of the often unique opportunities we have to get a shot that dramatically moves the story forward. As a documentary director and DOP, I'm constantly looking for artistic balance and social impact in my stories.

Based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, my projects demonstrate a deep concern and commitment to social issues and justice. Today I direct documentaries with a deeply personal approach and help others raise their voices. Combining teamwork and expertise, I work comfortable into sensitive stories which require strong visuals with limited budget and timing.

Director Statement

(“The Dark Side of Green” exploring indigenous land struggles in Brazil), our director´s executed an innovative outreach campaign: the Guarani Kaiowa communities who shared their stories in the film were given ownership of broadcast rights and succeeded in negotiating sales with the Brazilian government as well as global NGOs, which translated the work into several languages. Physical copies were distributed at the United Nations Rio+20 Climate Conference in 2012. The tribes continue to use the film as material to further the cause of land protection.
