Bidasoa 2018-2023

Police control and the closure of certain crossings on the Bidasoa river, natural border of the Pyrenées-Atlantiques Department, imposed by France in summer 2018 to prevent the entrance of immigrants on their way to other European countries, caused 10 deaths in a single year. Seven people died from April 2021, drowned in the waters of the River Bidasoa between Irun and Hendaia, while another three lost their lives in October 2021, hit by a train in Ziburu. This documentary, as well as putting a voice and face to several of the activists who work on either side of the river, as representatives of the Harrera Sarea (Reception Network) and Bidasoa Etorkinekin (The Bidasoa with Migrants) associations, also recalls those who lost their lives, giving them a name and an age, following their journey and their dreams, discovering the history and the people behind the cold figures of the deceased, giving the tragedy a more human aspect.

Under Fire

Bajo Fuego depicts the unraveling of peace for a group of coca growing peasants in the southwest of Colombia. The film takes the perspective of the ‘cocaleros’ and over a period of 3 years shows how they survive in the midst of the most difficult circumstances. The government delays in fulfilling what it promised in the agreement, economic difficulties arise for families that substituted their coca trees, and the increasing presence of armed groups start to terrorise the region. The promised peace in Colombia turns out to be an illusion when the newly armed groups take control, assassinations occur, and the films’ main protagonists are being threatened with their lives and displaced. Even though peace was supposedly signed in Colombia, Bajo Fuego shows that for many in the southwest of Colombia the war continues.

ADMIRE: Road to Apolo

ADMIRE: Road to Apolo is the raw and emotional journey of an emerging artist fighting to bring her first big show to life. Between ideas, rehearsals, and sleepless nights, ADMIRE builds her own universe from scratch — facing doubts, limits, and an industry that rarely bets on new voices. This documentary reveals the part no one sees: the creative process, the setbacks, the pressure, and the passion behind every step. It’s an honest and poetic portrait of what it truly means to carve out a path in music when everything still needs to be built. Because in the end, when the lights go up… every effort finds its meaning. And every scar turns into applause.

Neños en guerra

The history of the Asturian mining county from the mouths of its protagonists. We are after the victory of the national side in the Civil War, the families decimated with the dead in common graves. The "fugaos" and the guerrilla struggle that they maintained under the slogan of the PC. The “normalized” return to the mines with surveillance by the Civil Guard, the first strikes, timid and disorganized, spontaneous; the organization then, unionized and clandestine; the “resistance boxes”, the constant pulse against Francoism…
