Ages of Madness:The howling of the Jinn

In a world on the brink of chaos, where ancient gods threaten to awaken, a motley crew of individuals—a young woman trapped in a sinister cult, a detective who confronts the occult, and a man burdened by the horrors of another age—find themselves connected to a forbidden book that holds the key to humanity's survival or destruction.

ESTOUCHA

In August 1936, more than a hundred women and men of different nationalities arrived in the Basque Country, responding to the Republic's anti-fascist call to fight against the military coup. Among them was Esther Zilberberg, alias ESTOUCHA. Polish, Jewish, communist, and a medical student in Belgium, she was barely 20 years old. Our film follows her exciting experiences in the Basque Country during the war. That eventful period was only the beginning of a personal and collective epic (that of those first internationalists who arrived in our land), buried for decades in oblivion. After the Civil War, during World War II, she was part of the French Resistance against the Nazis, a struggle for which she had to separate from her young son Georges. Estoucha ended up being arrested. She was taken to the Ravensbrück concentration camp and the Mauthausen extermination camp, but she survived. After being freed, she was able to get her son back, although she had lost her husband during the war. Now, through her son, now in his eighties, we recover her memory, accompanying him on his trip to the Basque Country to visit the places his mother told him so much about. Thus, in addition to being a historical documentary, the film becomes a physical and emotional journey, in which Georges discovers the secrets of that adventure in the fight against fascism.

THE SAINT I DRESSED

1985, in La Ribera of Navarre. Charo is a 35-year-old single woman who works in the family candle-making workshop, a declining trade that her father refuses to abandon. The house-workshop is a peculiar place where several generations have left their mark. Charo, in turn, also leaves hers through the objects she collects from the street and accumulates there. One day, Charo receives a visit from her sister-in-law, Villar, who leaves her in charge of her one-year-old son with Down syndrome, Marcos, for an indefinite period. Charo finds herself trapped between two imposed obligations: caring for others and preserving the legacy of the family trade. Obligations that her family seeks to pass on to her by denying her the ability to choose freely.

WAR MATERIAL. Capturing the enemy

The director Nacho Ruiz-Capillas undertakes the digitalisation of over 6,000 photographic negatives, inherited from his grandfather Mariano, a cameraman and graphic reporter from before the Spanish Civil War until the 1960s. While he rescues these from their inevitable chemical fate, his mother Isabel, 88, begins to show signs of dementia, mixing past and present. These two processes of decomposition (that of the celluloid and the human memory) establish an unsettling parallelism that structures the documentary.

The crisis in the Basque mountains is shaking up a century-old forestry model. Berdea travels through landscapes, plantations and industries to investigate the future of wood. In their native Basque Country, architect Oihane Ruiz and landscape designer Ane Barrutia explore the wood cycle, from forest to industry, in search of answers: what kind of forest will we leave to future generations? Who defines tomorrow's forest today? Berdea. Tras el verde vasco offers a choral portrait of the current state of Basque forestry, which is marked by the decline of radiata pine, the advance of eucalyptus, and the depletion of the land.
