En la otra isla

Films restored at Elías Querejeta Zine Eskola make up the season ‘En la otra isla’ [On the other island], organised jointly by the SSIFF and the Basque Film Archive. The season, which forms part of the festival’s Klasikoak programme, includes a selection of Cuban films made between the 1960s and the 1980s that features little-know works by filmmakers such as Sara Gómez and Nicolás Guillén Landrián, key figures such as Santiago Álvarez and amateur movie makers working on the fringes of the institutional structure.
EQZE contributed to the conceptualisation of the season, which emerged from one of its research projects: ‘Second hand. Reuse and deviations of Ibero-American cinema’. It also curated the 18 films that make up the season, several of which were restored in its laboratories. EQZE was also involved in restoring the films loaned to the season by the group Archivistas Salvajes, whose members include several students from the school.
The rest of the films were restored as a result of a collaborative effort between Cuban (Cinemateca de Cuba, ICAIC, filmmakers and private individuals) and international institutions such as Vulnerable Media Lab / Queen’s University (Canada), Arsenal-Institut für Film und Videokunst (Germany), Altahabana Films (Madrid) and the Institut National de l’Audiovisuel (France).
The season will be held between 23 and 27 September in Elías Querejeta Zine Eskola’s new space in Tabakalera, located on the ground floor.
