Using footage filmed in Peru in 1950 by a foreigner, Víctor writes a letter to his son to question the country he will inherit: among heartbeats and ruins, he searches for a hope that still endures amid disillusionment.
Víctor Augusto Mendívil
Born in Lima, Peru, is a documentary filmmaker and film editor trained at the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru and the Madrid Film Institute. His work explores memory, archival images, and the transmission of personal and collective histories. Through essayistic and reflective forms, his films question how the past is inherited and the limits of fully understanding what we love.
El Perú es un lugar para morir (2026) continues this line of cinematic research.
