Hypothesis 2025 (Seventh day)

"The Time of Hypotheses" is the event in which the Master's students of the three specialties of Elías Querejeta Zine Eskola —Film Archive Studies, Film Curating Studies and Filmmaking Studies— exhibit the works they have developed throughout the course.  

These proposals, projects (mostly incomplete and ongoing), take diverse forms: plans and actions for the restoration and preservation of audiovisual heritage, research projects, editorial and film programming proposals, exhibitions and installations, films in development, as well as all the works completed throughout the course.

This program approaches cinema from all fields and prefigures dozens of paths, ranging from the academic to the creative, to explore the geography and history of cinema. All the paths of cinema in two weeks.

MULTIDISCIPLINARY PROJECT

Lúnars Ed. 001 — Edurne

Elisa Juri

PUBLICATION

Lúnars is a publishing project and a writing laboratory with/about/for/from cinema. It is a collective undertaking in which we experiment with illustrative possibilities in the interval between word and image. Our core question revolves around possible writings for thinking about how an image is received in changing ways.

13:15-13:45

Un mundo de hombres sin mundo

Simón Jarpa

FILM

Overcome by the seductive voice of the Globe, the Eye of the dog-man flees. Thus begins a chase that takes them through a painting into a desert world of talking statues and visionary machines. Always gravitating around the mutable presence of the Globe.

15:00-15:45

Neones, teatros y cines. Un paseo por la historia cinematográfica de Vitoria-Gasteiz

Izaro Cuesta Arrizabalaga

RESEARCH PROJECT

A stroll through the streets of the past, present and future of film history in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Álava. This project investigates and brings together pieces of what cinema meant to this city, and the spaces it occupied, occupies and may occupy.  

15:45-16:30 

Eis o Homem

Mario Veloso

FILM

En el corazón del Miño, durante la Semana Santa de Braga, Chico cruza la mirada con un santo desnudo. Cuando la piedra cobra vida, el deseo se infiltra en el rito. Entre fe y carne, el tiempo se suspende en un encuentro que atraviesa la noche de la procesión.

17:00-17:45

Inventario de ausencias

Fabio Miguel Quintero Pérez, Colectivo Archivistas Salvajes

AUDIOVISUAL INSTALLATION

Underground and submerged, Cuban amateur cinema is an accumulation of absences. There is no light to illuminate it, so we leave it alone with its shadow, with its form, with its time, with its way. 

All presentations, screenings, and other activities will begin at the time indicated in the program. We kindly request maximum punctuality.

Out of respect for the participants, access to the space will not be permitted once a presentation has begun until it has concluded.

The program's content is subject to possible last-minute modifications.
