We're Mullu, a film and communications platform from the native peoples of Abya Yala
Mullu Film School
We've created a part distance-learning, part attendance-based school that adapts to the different realities and worldviews of creators from frontline communities and territories. We provide and share film production equipment, tools and know-how, exchange ideas around representation and audiovisual sovereignty, and collectively develop strategies to break mainstream media bias.
Coproducimos películas y reportajes creados por realizadorxs, colectivos y comunidades indígenas, afrodescendientes y de primera línea.
Mullu Platform:
Curamos un catálogo de películas y reportajes creados por realizadorxs de todo Abya Yala.
Social Networks:
Join our online community where we post news from frontline communities and share and promote the work of distinct filmmakers and creators.

Mullu is an open, free and universal access platform. It’s up to each organization or filmmaker to decide if they want their content to be available on the platform for free or under a rental agreement. Visitors to the platform can choose to make direct financial contributions to the organizations, collectives or filmmakers behind particular content and, in doing so, support the creative work of indigenous and Afro-descendant filmmakers. All proceeds go directly to the respective organization, collective or filmmaker.
For the time being, all our content is subtitled in Spanish and English. We’ll have more languages available in the near future.
Our platform is a sovereign digital territory and exchange portal showcasing content from Indigenous and Afro-descendant filmmakers and journalists. Mullu's multidisciplinary team maintains complete editorial autonomy over its content. Our editorial line corresponds to the initiatives of the people we work with.
We’re financed through a network of donors, foundations, organizations and collectives that share our principles and respect our independence. We’re a non-profit entity. We accept donations, grants and sponsorship from individuals, organizations and foundations to support the growth of the platform, but never at the expense of editorial independence. Consistent with this policy, we reject donations from anonymous sources, political parties, elected officials or candidates, anti-rights religious institutions, as well as from the extractive industry.
Mullu prioritizes and promotes content created by Indigenous and Afro-descendant filmmakers, and productions created through collaborative community processes. However, we also occasionally feature content from non-indigenous filmmakers who work on issues relevant to indigenous peoples, and/or that have been produced in close collaboration, and with the explicit consent of the communities and grassroots organizations involved.
