Jambika Docs, a boutique international sales agency headquartered in Barcelona, officially launched with a mission to connect audiences worldwide with captivating and educational nonfiction films. The agency is founded on a commitment to curating high-quality, diverse, and impactful documentaries that resonate across cultures.
Jambika Docs’ philosophy centres on quality over quantity. As filmmakers themselves, the team strives to build transparent and collaborative relationships with producers.
Co-founders Juan Solera and Jota Salinas bring a wealth of experience to the venture. Solera has over a decade of expertise in documentary sales, having represented acclaimed titles such as Cobain: Montage of Heck and Nomad: In the Footsteps of Bruce Chatwin. He has also licensed films to industry giants like Netflix, BBC, and Arte, and his deep market knowledge is a cornerstone of the agency’s strategy.
Salinas complements this with his finance and strategic planning background. He transitioned from renewable energy to film to connect impactful stories with global audiences. Together, they combine business acumen and a passion for documentary filmmaking to redefine the market.
Jambika Docs offers a suite of services designed to support filmmakers at every stage of their journey:
- International Sales & Outreach: Ensuring maximum exposure across platforms and markets.
- Production Support: Assistance with financing, co-productions, and narrative development.
- Digital Strategy: Optimising content accessibility on global platforms.

- The Keepers: A heartwarming exploration of beekeeping in Ireland’s Beara Peninsula, capturing the delicate balance of nature and humanity.
