Ainarak

We accompany singer Anne Etchegoyen on the journey undertaken every winter between 1870 and 1940 by hundreds of women from Navarre and Aragon—known as the "swallows" because of their migratory resemblance to birds—across the Pyrenees to the French Basque Country to work in the espadrille industry and then return home in the spring to help the local economy, start their own families, and begin a new life. A journey through time, geography, and historical and personal circumstances, through archives, documents, photographs, and interviews.

El sexilio

Eduardo Casanova reveals the reality of sexile and applauds 'the collective struggle every day of the year'. In this documentary piece, the actor and director gives voice to Leo, Patricia, La Estrella, Ariel and Cris, 5 people from the group who have lived through this situation and who have left their home behind to be themselves. Their stories function as testimony and the starting signal for the initiative "Hay Ganas de Orgullo de Pueblo". In addition, the Madrid singer Soleá Morente reverses the theme 'Volver' for the piece, adopting a more optimistic tone to create a key anthem, the soul of the initiative.

About Everything There Is to Know

A group of filmmakers arrives in Santiago de Chuco, a town in the Peruvian highlands where the poet César Vallejo was born. With the excuse of a casting, the filmmakers appropriate the theater and the inhabitants of the place arrive, revealing little by little some lives embraced by the aura of the poet, who died in Paris seventy years ago. All of them, inhabitants and filmmakers, are confused between verses, stories and poetry. Fantasy emerges and characters like the blind Santiago-who rings the bells always warning something-; or the young musician Elder - whose desires loom like a cornucopia-trace a liminal path between fiction and reality.
