The San Sebastian Festival and Tabakalera International Centre for Contemporary Culture have created the daily meeting point going by the name of 2deo Topagunea, open from Tuesday 26 to Friday 29 September – from 19:00 to 22:00 – in the 2deo audiovisual laboratory. The initiative, which enjoys the collaboration of Keler, BIME and Oso polita, is intended for filmmakers, film industry professionals and journalists, all accreditation holders at the Festival, particularly those whose work focuses on programmes and sections promoted by the Festival and Tabakalera. These include the teams of the films selected for the Zabaltegi-Tabakalera and Nest sections, Ikusmira Berriak, Noka and 2deo serieak residents, EQZE students and former students, participants in the investors meetings and in other professional and cultural activities – such as the exhibition on Isabel Herguera – running in the building. Entry is with an accreditation.

The collaboration with BIME and Oso Polita will take the shape of a musical daily programme: on Tuesday 26 the DJ will be Alfredo Ignacio; on Wednesday 27, Lidna; on Thursday 28, AFU; and on Friday 29, Juan Tatorri.

2DEO TOPAGUNEA MUSICAL PROGRAMME

Alfredo Ignacio is the moniker behind one of the founding partners of Guajira Sicodélica (Dabadaba), Iñaki Otalora. This time he returns to the decks after a Caribbean tour de force lasting for a little under five years. A Polynesian twist, cha cha cha from the Bierzo region, avant-garde orchestras and movie soundtracks that never saw the light, are only some of the sounds issuing from his suitcase.  

Lidna, an Argentinian living in San Sebastian, is a musician and visual artist. In 2021 she released her first EP, Terrario, followed by the singles Transparente (2022) and Vas a Poder (2023), numbers from her coming album, Antodita. Her music ranges from dream pop to ambient pop, with a strong influence of art pop. She is currently completing the Master’s Degree in Film Preservation at the Elías Querejeta Zine Eskola.

Jon Quiñones (AFU, León, 1993) has been living in San Sebastian since 2014. He has collaborated in musical projects including Kilimak, Tacumah, Argi Zulo Dub Station and Ether Ensemble; he has also participated in creation, management and cultural dissemination through collectives like Banda Bat (Guardetxe), Kaleko Txirrina (Masa Crítica) and NWD (New World Disorder). In his sets, listeners can hear a mixture of genres with influences of jazz, hip-hop, electro, UK garage, breaks and techno.

Hailing from Oiartzun, JuanTaTorri will follow paths taking us on a round trip through styles including R&B, soul, disco and dance music.
