Shooting is life
Iván López, a filmmaker and journalist from Tenerife, has developed a notable career within the Canary Islands’ audiovisual scene. He holds degrees in Hispanic Philology and Information Sciences from the University of La Laguna, as well as a Master’s in Film Directing from the Camilo José Cela University. López has directed more than twenty fiction and documentary short films. Among his most acclaimed works is Quesada: La verdad del silencio (2023), the result of nearly fifteen years of research into the 1977 murder of student Javier Fernández Quesada.
Additionally, López directed the feature film Platón (2018), which explores intergenerational disconnection through the story of a teenager searching for his father, and the medium-length film Odio los lunes, a choral fable about forgiveness and human relationships.
Alongside his work as a filmmaker, López has worked as a journalist for Antena 3 and has taught screenwriting at the Literary School of La Laguna, contributing actively to the development and promotion of cinema in the Canary Islands.
In 2025, he founded El Nido en el Ático Films, an independent label dedicated to producing minimalist films and projects that seek to bring emotional and artistic value.
About me
My work explores memory, the passage of time, and the fragility of human relationships.
I believe in cinema made with minimalism, truth, and free from artifice.
In 2025, I founded El Nido en el Ático Films, a creative haven for telling minimalist stories without intermediaries and with complete freedom.
