#71SSIFF | "Participating in the Cannes Critics' Week is a significant recognition that helps to give visibility to 'Contadores' and to boost future projects." The San Sebastian Film Festival (@sansebastianfes) will host the short film 'Contadores' as part of the Zabaltegi-Tabakalera section. Directed by Irati Gorostidi, the film premiered at the Cannes Critics' Week and was part of last year's Kimuak catalog. It tells the story of a group of libertarian militants who spend a night in 1978 printing a leaflet. The agreement for the metal industry of the province of Gipuzkoa is about to be signed and they defend the need to continue the struggle. While writing and printing the leaflet, they reflect on personal relationships and speculate on communal living. The next day, in the entrance hall of the factory where they work, they join a workers' meeting and encourage their fellow workers to fight for better conditions. But the growing unionization of the workers' movement has taken away the influence they once had, moving their radical political project into irrelevance. ❗ Interview available on September 27.
