It’s Family Fun Day at the apartment on Calle San Nicolas as Jorge and Txisti and Ricardo and Iune and Garbiñe hang out all afternoon and into the evening to process the last roll of film, eat, dance, read, nap and telecine 24 hours of beautiful images…      

Putting together a fabulous film festival is a TON of work. Calls for submissions, viewing submissions, making selections, notifying filmmakers, assembling programs, dreaming up special programs, securing funding, inviting filmmakers, selecting judges, coordinating travel and accommodations arrangements for visiting filmmakers, press and promotion, subtitling prints, securing the venues, making posters and trailers, designing the program […]

We wake up this morning to big beautiful snowflakes drifting down outside the window… Winter wonderland in Pamplona! After some frolicking with the Super 8 it’s back inside for a 12-hour processing marathon and snack-a-thon. Nice work Sandra & Idoia, Celia & Ruben, Marina & Katxo, Ione & Maite and Mirari & Das!!!!

Jorge starts the cinematic ball rolling with a meditation on the political past of public buildings and their reappropriation through art and graffiti. The theme continues with Ricardo’s celebration of […]

Hello and welcome to our new best friends! Let’s get started on our cinematic adventure!
