Blue Sky
Cinematography
On January 24th, 1954, Mamaddi, aged 22, took a boat from Le Havre to New York. But her journey began earlier in her hometown movie theater, with images coming off the screen and never disappearing: a beautiful Cadillac, a young woman, the blue sky.
Future Foods
Director
Future Foods​ revolves around the making of plastic food at the workshops of Replica LTD,​ one of the few UK based companies that still manufactures props for films, advertisements and displays. The perception of food, its appealingness and palatability through a constructed image, come into play when observing these hand-crafted manufacturing processes through a camera. A phone conversation with the CEO of a Finnish future foods' start-up ​ introduces us to a cutting edge technology consisting of the production of a new protein generated from water, electricity and CO​2 ​captured from the air. "Solein" is a new technology that speculates with a near future without agriculture and land use effects.
Red
Editor
Entrails, a flock of sheep, one spring. The cooing of doves and songs hummed. Some vultures, bones, flowers and many hands. Hands which feed, milk, stroke, shear, film; hands that kill. Hands which inhabit the doubts and contradictions about using other species.
Reserve
Director
El lobo ha dejado de habitar el territorio que una vez formó parte de sus dominios y es solo a través de sus contornos que podemos acercarnos a él; ruinas de trampas para lobos, orina de depredador importada de Estados Unidos, un muladar para alimentar aves carroñeras y arqueros que disparan a réplicas de animales. Reserve construye un relato sobre el frágil equilibrio de un territorio tras la desaparición del depredador, donde la compleja coexistencia entre humanos y no humanos presenta un ecosistema marcadamente antropogénico.
Land Underwater
Editor
Almost two decades ago, the Itoiz dam flooded seven villages and three natural reserves on the Pyrenean hillside in Navarra. The ecologist group Solidari@s con Itoiz registered the fight against its construction. Today, those who were there dream of the land lying beneath the water on video. Their voices and gestures come together to tell the tale of an individual and collective mourning still suffered today.
In the Rain
Sound
El filme Euritan propone una revisión de la narración Klara eta biok, escrita por Itxaro Borda en 1985. Enfrentando a la autora a las palabras de su pasado, se actualiza la mirada sobre la relación periférica en torno al carácter vasco.
Lycisca
Director
"LYCISCA, shot in Karrantza, an historic mining area of Bilbao and also one of the most rural areas of the province, departs from the myth of the Carranza Wolf, but portrays the industrial farming system, as well as the system by which museums exploit animal life and geology." - Anthology Film Archives
