INTERACTIVE ZINEBI

Special screenings

In this section ZINEBI 51 is presenting four interesting propositions with a wide variety of aims and meanings. Three of them are recently-produced Basque documentaries: the first is the medium-length film entitled El largo viaje, a project carried out in 2008 by the Bilbao production company Basque Films, directed by Sabin Egilior, that carries out a meticulous exercise in the recovery of our historic memory, in which we are shown the extraordinary journey of a train that in 1937 left Bilbao for Seville, full of Republican prisoners who never reached their destination. The second film is Días de El Abanico, a full-length documentary by the production company from Alava, Kinoskopik Film Produktion, directed in 2008 by Miguel Ángel Jiménez, who uses a really beautifully stylised creation of film time to capture how the days pass by in a small Argentine village at the foot of the Andes and contemplates the faces of its inhabitants. Under the generic title of Glocal, the artistic duo formed by Nico Vázquez, the ex-bassist in the rock band, MCD, and Eva Mateos, known professionally as Aburres Team, are presenting their latest audiovisual pieces in the third programme of this section. These were produced between 2007 and 2009 and have won various prizes and mentions at competitions and festivals connected with video-creation, and are a varied set of works with markedly experimental aims that deal with substantial aspects of the modern world – such as virtual reality, the new (non)communication media, architecture and climate change- and public and private passions like motorbike races. The fourth film, which is in a quite different field, is also a full-length documentary: Wake up World, directed by Carlo Nero and produced in 2007 by his mother, the great British actress, Vanessa Redgrave, to mark the 60th anniversary of UNICEF and its work for the children of the world and their rights. Vanessa Redgrave interviews Kofi Annan, the previous Secretary General of the UN, and some of the good will ambassadors of the veteran humanitarian organisation, such as Ralph Fiennes, Angelique Kidjo and Liam Neeson.
