Quijote Films, the production company behind Chile’s submission for the upcoming Oscars, “The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo,” is excited to announce its involvement with the Brazilian documentary “Mariana x BHP.” This powerful project is directed and produced by Renan Flumian from Droma Productions.

Taking over six years to develop and filmed across 17 cities on three continents, the documentary explores the largest environmental lawsuit in history, stemming from the catastrophic failure of the Mariana dam in Brazil. With over 200 hours of footage captured, this significant project won a cash award at the Lau Haizetara Forum in San Sebastián and was presented to potential buyers and platforms this week at Madrid’s 5th Iberseries & Platino Industria.

Quijote Films is also a co-producer of the 2025 Berlinale Silver Bear recipient “The Blue Trail,” which has already achieved over 150,000 admissions in Brazilian theaters. Furthermore, the company is preparing for the upcoming project “A Colmeia,” which was filmed earlier this year in the Atacama Desert in collaboration with Brazilian producer Sara Silveira.

Giancarlo Nasi from Quijote Films expressed, “Working with Brazil has been an incredible journey for me. My ties to Brazil stem from years of study and my long-standing role as a mentor at BrLab. The resilience of their film industry continues to impress me. Collaborating with our Brazilian partners reaffirms Brazil’s position as a vital ally for Quijote.”

“With ‘Mariana x BHP,’ we are further solidifying our international co-production strategy, developing impactful content across the Americas and beyond. In the coming year, we plan to enter production on projects with partners in Canada, Argentina, Mexico, and the U.S. Creating global narratives with international talent is embedded in our DNA—mirroring the commitment to excellence we’ve inherited from auteur cinema,” he remarked.

Producer Sergio Karmy from Quijote Films emphasized their recent presentation at Iberseries, stating, “We feel we have a film with a strong identity—both socially and politically relevant, yet capable of appealing to a wide audience. We are crafting it with the tone of a legal thriller: compelling, critical of the system, conversation-provoking, and deeply engaging.” He also extended his appreciation to the Quijote team, directed by Eugenia Campos, alongside Giancarlo, for their role in creating the project’s rich narrative and materials.

Renan Flumian commented, “As a Brazilian director, I have seen the stories of those affected in Brazil, as well as the lawyers who created an unprecedented alliance to challenge the world’s largest mining company. This documentary chronicles their pursuit of justice and highlights the substantial ramifications this case could hold for corporate accountability, not just in Latin America but throughout the Global South. Starting from a local tragedy, the film unveils how global power dynamics operate through a captivating, emotional narrative that resonates worldwide.”

Flumian’s previous works include “The Hardest Conversation to Have With Your Parents” (NYT Op-Docs, 2024), recognized internationally for its raw exploration of intergenerational discussions about intimacy. He is also known for the documentary series “Acende a Luz” (Globoplay, 2023), which examines sexuality later in life, and is currently working on the action-comedy “Velhos Bandidos,” featuring the iconic Fernanda Montenegro, known for her roles in acclaimed films such as “Central Station,” which garnered her an Academy Award nomination.
