Tabling straightforward simple stories and experimenting with new narratives, the newest wave of Basque film talents has started to dip their toe into the international scene, landing at movie launchpads such as Venice, Berlin and San Sebastian festivals.
“This is an ambitious generation in the sense that it face without fear the challenge of being faithful to the creative spirit of their projects,” argues Jara Ayúcar, Basque Audiovisual Coordinator and Communication. *Estibaliz Urresola, who caught attention with her short “Adri” and her debut doc “Voces de Papel,” is prepping “20,000 Species of Bees.” It is scheduled to roll next year, after being selected at Madrid’s The Screen – La Incubadora and winning the Thessaloniki Intl. Film Festival Co-Production award and Tallinn Black Nights’ best cinematographic script.
In many cases, new Basque filmmakers share spaces, knowledge and experiences via a context that allows them to continue growing and learning., short-film collection Kimuak and the Tabakalera International Center for Contemporary Culture, initiatives have been launched such as Ikusmira Berriak, a project-based training-residence program, and the Elías Querejeta ZineEskola film school.
“I’m interested in paying attention to stories of coexistence between human beings, their environment and other species. And from there, create other narratives beyond anthropocentric stories,” Barber adds.
