Jorge Sanjinés was born in La Paz on 31 July 1936. He studied philosophy, then cinema, and in 1961 made a short film that already mixed fiction and documentary. In the mid-sixties he headed the Bolivian Film Institute, from which the authorities removed him. Founder of a collective of filmmakers, he went into exile in Peru and Ecuador after Banzer's coup d'état, in 1971, and continued abroad a body of work made with the Andean peoples and in their languages. He was still filming in the 2020s.
