Juan Miranda

Juan Miranda Salazar was born in the department of Oruro and spent his childhood in the mining districts of Huanuni and Siglo XX. In 1965 he joined the Bolivian Film Institute, directed by Jorge Sanjinés, then worked with Jorge Ruiz, before going to study cinema in France. On his return, he worked as cinematographer for Antonio Eguino, directed two fiction feature films and award-winning documentaries, and settled in Santa Cruz, where he defended a national cinema which, he said, alone could preserve the country's identity.
