Arkaitz Basterra Zalbide

A story of an extraordinary artist who has unintentionally signed a deal with a devil. Jiří Trnka was one of the biggest Czech artists of the 20th century and one of the founders of the puppet animation. His work demonstrated the world that communist society can provide better conditions for extraordinary artistic creations. The ideological clash between West and East didn’t leave children and their stories apart from their struggle in ideological and political positions.

Ema & Death’s-Head deals with the precarious border between humanism and the protection of one’s own life in situations when one excludes the other. Marika Sándorfi is hiding a Jewish boy during the dramatic era of the First Slovak State on the Slovak-Hungarian border. Šimon Holan, the boy in hiding, has a special ability to survive thanks to dreaming and a child’s fantasy.

A Kafkaesque documentary over ten years in the making that sheds light on the absurdity of a bureaucratic system, set within the never-ending process of renovation of the Slovak National Gallery.

In March of 2003, a young Basque poet and four friends-three musicians and an artist-came to New York City almost by chance, to do a half dozen bilingual poetry evenings, with music. "The six or seven hundred thousand Basque speakers in the world today "can fit into a New York neighborhood," the poet, Kirmen Uribe, says in AGIAN / MAYBE. "So what does a community that fits into a neighborhood have to offer the world? Or in that city that's the center of the world, what can it offer?" What the five discovered there surprised them. AGIAN / MAYBE shows how something that seemed to begin in New York in 2003 in fact had its origins long before. AGIAN / MAYBE is a ping-pong contemplation, with music, of the five histories behind the whole, and makes a guess of its own at possible outcomes.
