Ramón Barea will receive the Zinemira Award at the Basque Film and ETB Gala, setting for the premieres of ''Igelak (Frogs)'' and ''Agirre Lehendakaria''
The Zinemira section will include more Basque productions than ever at the 64th edition of the San Sebastian Festival. Seventeen productions will compose the overview of Basque cinema, eight of which will compete for the Irizar Basque Film Award.
The competing titles include eight documentaries and a single feature film, Igelak (Frogs), directed by Patxo Telleria. The film, to be screened at the Basque Film and ETB Gala, follows a corrupt banker on the run. This is the third time that the actor, screenwriter and filmmaker from Bilbao has premiered a film at San Sebastian after having written and directed with Aitor Mazo La máquina de pintar nubes (The Cloud-Painting Machine, 2009), winner of the Versión Española Best Screenplay Award, and Bypass, in 2012, Best Film Comedy Award at Michigan. The gala will also see the premiere of Agirre Lehendakaria, a documentary biography directed by Francesc Escribano looking at the personal and professional life of Basque President José Antonio Aguirre through the research work of actor Daniel Grao as he prepares for his performance of this historic character.
Films about history, distant or recent, art and music inspire the documentaries in the section. Chillida: esku huts is the atypical biography of the sculptor from San Sebastian, directed by Juan Barrero, author of La jungla interior (2013); and the filmmaker Juanma Bajo Ulloa (Vitoria-Gasteiz, 1967) , winner of the Golden Shell with his debut movie, Alas de mariposa (Butterfly Wings), brings us in Rocknrollers an encyclopaedic reflection on the world of rock ‘n’ roll based on the Azkena Rock Festival.
Maider Oleaga (Bilbao, 1976), author of Amaren idea and participant in the first edition of the Ikusmira Berriak programme, pens one of the five pieces of the project about the Basque President José Antonio Aguirre, promoted by the Basque TV and Radio network, ETB. Berlin, hideout of Aguirre in 1941, welcomes five people who wander its streets in Iragan Gunea Berlin. In Quinta Planta (Fifth Plant), another part of the project on the subject of President Aguirre, Mikel Rueda portrays Jon, a young idealist in the New York of the 60s. For its part, El fin de ETA (ETA, The End) is the documentary on the process that led to the end of ETA’s violence, narrated by Justin Webster, former reporter with The Independent and author of documentaries including Gabo, Seré asesinado and Barça Confidential.
Three debutants complete the competitive section. Baskavigin. La matanza de los balleneros vascos (Baskavigin.The Slaying of the Basque Whalers) is the first documentary by Aitor Aspe, author of the shorts Last Smile and Mi lucha. The production takes us back to June 1615 to recreate a violent occurrence in Iceland’s history and to remember its victims, 86 Basque whalers.
The moviemaker from Eibar now living in Copenhagen, Juan Palacios (Eibar, 1986) makes his feature directorial debut with Pedaló, narration of a journey by three friends aboard a pedalo round the Basque coast, and the parallel voyage of its director. And GUtik ZUra is the first audiovisual work by Mari Jose Barriola, a Technical Agricultural Engineer, expert in wood, who takes a trip from ancient times until today through the relationship between this material, the forest and the human being.
Diversity is also present in the non-competing films. From Acantilado (The Cliff), the latest feature by Helena Taberna, about two siblings and a sect in the Canary Islands, to the documentary Pelota II, by the anthropologist Olatz González Abrisqueta and the Danish poet and filmmaker Jørgen Leth, looking at the relationship between the pelota player and his work instrument, passing through Mara Mara, a blizzard in the Pyrenees filmed by David Aguilar, who presented his previous work Nao Yik (2011) in Zinemira. Conflicts and external catastrophes figure in Oihalak adarretan, where Juanmi Gutiérrez turns the eyes of his documentary towards ten million Armenians; Nola?, in which Fermin Muguruza, musician and maker of documentaries such as Checkpoint Rock, portrays the situation in New Orleans ten years on from hurricane Katrina; and Skhvisi Sakhli / House of Others, the Georgian, Russian and Spanish co-production directed by Rusudan Glurijdze (Tbilisi, Georgia, 1972), telling the tale of two families after the war in Abkhazia who are assigned houses left empty by the losers.
And there’s also space for a nod towards the pioneers of our recent past. Gaur irekiko ditut ateak, by Eriz Zapirain (Gazta zati bat), recovers the adventure of the creation of “Egunkaria”, first daily newspaper in the Basque language, closed down by the Spanish High Court in 2003. Finally, Iratxe Fresneda, Professor of Audiovisual Communication at the University of the Basque Country, takes a detailed look in her first film, Irrintziaren oiartzunak (Echoing Calls), at the work of filmmaker Mirentxu Loyarte, author of Irrintzi, a daring cinematic exercise in 1978.
ZABALTEGI-TABAKALERA
A road in the middle of nowhere. A car. A bike. Two lonely people looking for the same thing. They meet. World premiere.
The neighbourhood of Housewives. The district of Insomniacs. The newsstand of the Unknown Mother. The underground of The Lonely Women. Our walls pay tribute to the people we love.
An hour-long cruise, the meta-filmic essay of a vampire moviemaker, a ghost film. The story of the search for a place gives rise to discoveries that lead to other searches. F.W. Murnau and his movie Nosferatu; the love triangle between Bram Stoker, his wife Florence Balcombe and his boyfriend Oscar Wilde. Famous shipwrecks, holidays on board a ship. The stolen bust from a grave, reflections on history and cinema. A tale of Russian dolls who conceal gothic fiction, documentary realism and video essay. Narrative collage with fragments of books, letters, reports, announcements, telegrams, press cuttings, film extracts, puppets. A mirror game with real and fictional vampires; loneliness, dehumanisation, social control. And in the middle of it all, the novel Dracula; its main character, its structure, its background. Premiere at Rotterdam Film Festival.
ZINEMIRA

Zinemira in competition: Irizar Basque Film Award
(world premieres)
In June 1615, 86 Basque whalers, captained by Martín de Villafranca, Pedro de Aguirre and Esteban de Tellería sailed to the cold waters of Northern Iceland, where they were involved in the country’s darkest episode.
At the age of 19, Eduardo Chillida (1924-2002) was a highly gifted athlete well on his way to becoming a football legend. However, a brutal injury during a game put an end to his professional sports career. Nobody except Pilar Belzunce, his life-long partner, suspected that the young goalkeeper from Hernani was about to rewrite his future and die decades later as one of the 20th century’s best sculptors. Chillida: Esku Huts is not a conventional biography, but a poetic, intimate look at an artist second to none. A person who remains alive through his work, his eight children and some of his closest collaborators.
The documentary opens with conversations between the President of the Basque Socialist Party of the time, Jesús Eguiguren, and the leader of Batasuna, Arnaldo Otegi, at the Txillarre farmhouse in Elgoibar (Gipuzkoa), held from 2000 to 2004. They refer to the meetings between “Josu Ternera” and Eguiguren in Switzerland and to the different phases – for and against – that alternated in these conversations, with more journeys to Switzerland and Norway, while narrating the conversations with the nationalist left-wing, often with participation of the Basque Nationalist Party of Josu Jon Imaz and Iñigo Urkullu. The arrival to ETA of new military leadership with Francisco Javier López Peña, “Thierry”, representative of the organisation’s most radical branch, is on the point of undoing the progress achieved until then.
The idiosyncrasy of the Basque Country is founded on the forest and wood. In this documentary we will travel from antiquity to the future, demonstrating the relationship between the person and wood. To do it, we will take the life experience of the people chosen and the opinion of renowned world specialists to show, by means of a multifaceted combination of history and stories, the principal keys of the forest and wood yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Pello, a bank branch manager, is arrested for financial fraud. Abandoned by the superior who got him mixed up in the crime, he scarpers to avoid going to jail and becomes a fugitive. By chance he ends up hiding in a building occupied by battling evicted tenants. Pello earns the group’s trust with the intention of stealing enough cash from them to pay for false documents, move abroad and start a new life.
Iragan Gunea Berlin follows five people from different origins as they move anonymously around the streets of Berlin. Each of them with another life somewhere else, trying to ascertain where to go.
A fledgling filmmaker follows the steps of three friends on a surrealistic nautical voyage. Aboard a second-hand pedalo, they set out on a journey of 150 kms leaving from the Basque coast. The pedalo is not, however, made for the waters of the Cantabrian Sea, and no sooner has it started than the voyage spirals into madness: an accident, partying, a hangover, a shaman, a funeral… As he documents the expedition of the three “sailors”, the director sinks into a parallel voyage.
What pushes people to do what they do? For what strange reason do some people still decide, in an individualistic world such as this, to spend part or all of their time helping others? Through the different testimonies of various people, we will meet one of these rare birds. A person who spent part of his life helping others and who, unawares, began one of the greatest changes of our days.
The yearly Azkena Rock Festival in Vitoria-Gasteiz serves as a gathering place for meditating on the passion for Rock ‘n’ Roll, its essence and extraordinary social reach.
Zinemira out of competition
Gabriel receives news of a mass suicide by a sect in the Canary Islands. His younger sister, from whom he has heard nothing for years, was one of its members. Travelling to the island, Gabriel is soon deeply involved in the search for his missing sibling.
In 2003 the Spanish National High Court closed down the only existing newspaper in the Basque language: Egunkaria. It closed down the dailypaper and accused members of its editorial board of belonging to ETA. Seven years later is was proven during the trial that those accusations had no basis: all of the defendants were set free. This documentary doesn’t show that sad injustice, but the inspiring creation of the first newspaper in the Basque language, Euskera.
Portrayal of the creative exile of Mirentxu Loyarte (Iruñea, 1938) one of those brave European film pioneers who live under the cloak of anonymity and who, despite the unfinished projects, has never stopped being a filmmaker.
Death has been considered and lived in many ways throughout human history. We could say that ours is just like any other, but also that it is so special and different that it breaks away from the relative coherence assigned to it in the past. In Basque, Mara Mara means the sound of snow hitting the ground. Light and darkness pierce this film made during a blizzard in the Pyrenees.
Attracted by its charm, Fermin Muguruza went to The Big Easy to record “Irun Meets New Orleans”, where he adapted to the sounds of New Orleans eight songs from his career, interpreted two of the city’s classics, and made a documentary, Nola? about the situation ten years on from hurricane Katrina. All filmed with the crème de la crème of the local scene: from the historic Preservation Hall Jazz Band to bounce rapper Katey Red, with collaborators from Galactic, Dr. John and Trombone Shorty.
There are 10 million Armenians in the world. Of these, 3 million live within what are today the borders of Armenia, independent republic. The remaining 7 million are spread over several countries. They form the so-called Armenian diaspora. All of them, inside and outside of the country, share a single sentiment, almost holy, towards an Armenia which is at the same time splendid and sorrowful.
Documentary on the Basque sport of hand-pelota focussed on the fateful relationship of the pelotari with the pelota ball. Following the players’ obsessive quest to find the perfect ball every game, the film penetrates a country whose modernity has detracted nothing from its existential passion.
Georgia, the 90s. Two families have physically survived a short but devastating war in the Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia. Being on the winning side, they are assigned the houses left empty by the losers. But they prove unable to build a new life in peace.
Zinemira Kimuak
(for professionals and accredited guests only)
The section will also include the selection of shorts in the Kimuak 2016 programme, an initiative of the Basque Government Department of Culture and Euskadiko Filmategia-Filmoteca Vasca with the objective of lending visibility to the best Basque shorts of the year. This year’s Kimuak selection includes seven short films.
Making the most of the celebrations on the Eve of St. Agatha -a Basque tradition where groups of people, accompanied by improvisers of Basque verse (bertsolaris), go round the houses in a festive atmosphere singing verses to the beat of their walking sticks- the bertsolari Maialen Lujanbio strongly condemns gender-based violence. Verse after verse, she denounces the different kinds of male violence, and our impossibility to overcome it. Taking the occasion as their excuse, twenty young Basque artists draw on different animation techniques to helm a collective creation.
A road in the middle of nowhere. A car. A bicycle. Two lonely people looking for the same thing. They meet.
Adem Lethani has been tortured and tied up in an abandoned garage. He’s trying to cut through the ropes round his wrists when a SUV comes into the garage and the light goes on.
The neighbourhood of Housewives. The district of Insomniacs. The newsstand of the Unknown Mother. The underground of The Lonely Women. Our walls pay tribute to the people we love.
In a Basque village, in 1925, a vigil is underway for the young Inge, wife of Mikel Martikorena, who died suddenly. Visited by the village authorities, Martin, the family patriarch, has only one concern: the absence of his middle son Joanes, who has lost his mind after studying theology and wanders the hills preaching the resurrection of the dead.
When Maitane tells her husband Iosu that they have a water leak from the upstairs flat, he decides to go up and talk to the neighbours. But the visit will have more than one surprise in store for him!
Years after they break up, Tania and Josean run into one another at a congress on renewable energies. She’s got plenty to say to him…
ZINEMIRA AWARD
Actor and filmmaker Ramón Barea will receive this year’s Zinemira Award presented by the San Sebastian Festival together with the producers associations EPE/APV and IBAIA to the career of an outstanding Basque cinema personality. The Zinemira Award will be presented during the Basque Film Gala / ETB Gala on September 20th at the Victoria Eugenia Theatre, prior to the premiere of the documentary Agirre lehendakaria and the full-length feature, Igelak.
Ramón Barea was born in Bilbao in 1949. Self-taught (but he’d rather have had teachers), he was an altar boy in his parish church, kettledrum player, and dog matador in Bilbao’s Plaza Nueva. Having had a passion for acting from a very young age, in the seventies he joined the Cómicos de la Legua and Karraka, two independent theatre groups in the Basque Country, of which he was the founder and actor. Before dedicating himself full-time to the world of show business at the age of 24, he was an employee, civil servant and student of Educational Sciences.

His latest theatre works are the monologue On the Harmful Effects of Tobacco by A. Chekhov, his performance as Max Estrella in Luces de Bohemia with the company Ur Teatro, as Prospero in Shakespeare’s Tempest and as Menenius in Coriolanus, both directed by Helena Pimenta, and as Don Quixote in Morir cuerdo y vivir loco, written and directed by Fernando Fernán Gómez for the National Drama Centre and the Aragón Drama Centre. He also participated in El chico de la última fila and Cartas de amor a Stalin by Juan Mayorga, once again with the company Ur.

In television he has had parts in several of the most popular series of recent years, including: Compañeros, Periodistas, Aquí no hay quien viva, Hospital Central, Policías, en el corazón de la calle, Plan América or Acusados and mini-series such as Adolfo Suárez or Yo soy el solitario. For ETB he created the mise-en-scène for the programme Detrás del Sirimiri, also directing and coordinating the scripts of Flamingo Berria. He was also a member of the iconic Spanish TVE network programme El peor programa de la semana directed by Fernando and David Trueba.
As a film director he debuted in 1996 with the short film Adiós Toby, adiós, selected for the Critics’ Week at the Cannes Festival, to which he also took his second short, Muerto de amor. As a full-length filmmaker he debuted in 1999 with Pecata minuta, starring Elena Irureta and Mariví Bilbao. His next film at the helm, and his last to date, was El coche de pedales, in 2004, with Álex Angulo. He has also made documentaries on the performing arts and theatre work processes with the company Ur.
Among the numerous awards received over his career are particularly a Special Mention received at Huelva Latin America Film Festival for Enrique Gabriel’s En la puta calle (1997), and the award bestowed by the Festival du Cinéma Espagnol de Toulouse Midi-Pyrénées for El coche de pedales.
