JAMBIKA DOCS
Juan Solera, Co-Founder
“Jambika Docs is a boutique international sales agency for high-end documentary and factual content, built on a curated catalog of around 10 to 12 new titles a year rather than volume-led representation.

Renzo Tamariz, Founder
“Mipcom marks a pivotal step for Minuto 90 Films as we expand from acquisitions and distribution into original production. Our goal is to position sports and music storytelling as premium factual content for a global audience, open the door to international co-production partners, and reinforce our catalog as a trusted reference for the documentary market — built on the same high production values that have defined our work since day one, now applied to a broader creative and commercial scope.”

“Minuto 90 Films will spotlight ‘Mala Full of Grace,’ its international co-production with Mediacrest and JCDe Productions. Directed by Jean-Cosme Delaloye, the documentary weaves the journey of hip hop icon La Mala Rodríguez with four other women, all named María, once dismissed by society as ‘bad girls,’ turning a music story into a universal portrait of female self-determination — a bold factual title built for global buyers, and a clear signal of the ambition behind our new production slate.”

MOTION PICTURES
Tony Albert, CEO
“Our main business goal for this edition is to launch our co-production series ‘The Black Diamond Race,’ which is a 9×45’ preteen animated series. It’s a co-production with Gruppo Alcuni, RAI, RTVE, Broadvision Perspectives, and Motion Pictures Entertainment. We’re also excited to present our 2026 catalog to new and regular clients, which includes a few new titles, and to keep building those relationships. Besides that, Mipcom is a great chance to review animation trends and opportunities.”

“’The Black Diamond Race’ is set in India, 1929. Rani Singh, a 17-year-old Indian girl whose dream is to be a race car driver, finds herself in the middle of a sketchy challenge. At stake: four world-famous diamonds with magical qualities. Working with a small team of underdogs, including her older brother and drivers from all over Europe, Rani races to cross the finish line first and foil the plans of the criminal mastermind Mister K, who wants to use the diamonds’ powers to control the world.”

“We are taking to the market for the first time final episodes to screen of two different titles. ‘The Triplets’ (26×11’), the adaptation of the classic Catalan IP created by Roser Capdevila, returns as a reboot for a new generation. A coproduction between Spain, Italy and Portugal involving four public broadcasters (3CAT, RTVE, RAI and RTP), premiering on 3CAT this Christmas. The second season is already in the financing stage. ‘Listen to your Body’ (13×10’) is an edutainment TV format mixing live action shooting and animation clips, talking to kids 8-10 in their own language while explaining fun facts about how the human body functions.
