Cervantes Film Series: Zinegoak 20th anniversary. LGTBIQ+ Animation
With this award-winning short film, Mel Arranz has managed to place himself within the interesting panorama of animation made in the Basque Country. His piece, colored in various shades of black and white, began to take shape during his artistic stay in Mexico and is a visual experiment: his short film manages to demonstrate a bodily intimacy through the detail shots of the touching of skins, hardly representable in live-action cinema.

Cervantes Film Series: Zinegoak 20th anniversary. LGTBIQ+ Animation
With a captivating work drawing on a black and white photographic image, director Adrian Garcia Gomez delves into memory to orient his imagination regarding identity and the past in the environment of the western and Mexican cinema of the 1940’s and 50’s. This short film follows its predecessor Mikveh (2016), and shares that film’s sensitive attunement regarding its formality and concerns, which the Californian creator will continue in his subsequent work, using a much more complex visual composition.

Cervantes Film Series: Zinegoak 20th anniversary. LGTBIQ+ Animation
The animators included in Ageda Kopla Taldea – a group of twenty artists coordinated by Bego Vicarioapproach– weave a fascinating story that starts from the tradition of the bertsolaris, the Basque poets who recite their improvised verses, to bring us closer to the history of cultural and popular traditions at a time when their meanings and contents are being redefined.
This work is part of the stream of collective animation works that have been performed in recent years in the field of Fine Arts in the Basque Country, such as Areka (2016) or Miraila (2017).

Planned as a mixed media work, Thara combines a documentary style with a narrative built through animation to achieve greater expressive freedom, only achievable through this technique. The short film shows the story of those transsexual people who are forced to work at night and reveals how difficult the lives of these women can be in Latin American countries.

As part of her thesis project, filmmaker Andrea Gudiño proposed this animated documentary that brings us closer to the issue of sexual binarism. The possibility of using the experiences and personal testimonies of real people who do not appear in the image but are generated from an original use of materials and cinematographic techniques, achieves an enormous visual and didactic impact, one of the most effective resources in an animated documentary like this one. The short film is an interesting approach to different ways of conceiving identity, the relationship with one’s own body and love.

Cervantes Film Series: Zinegoak 20th anniversary. LGTBIQ+ Animation
Through a work with archival photographs, the animator Alejandra Bueno creates a reinterpretation of the presence of women in Basque culture, which combines the manipulation and intervention of these images with the oral enumeration of the functions traditionally attributed to women. The result is a provocative display of how to assume and reverse the elements of tradition and its representation to show its fissures and to open those meanings that are no longer viable or sustainable. In the process, we will witness new representations of gender and sexual orientations that further dynamite the critical discourse.

With a song by Eneko Sagardoy as a thematic and narrative pillar, the writer and animator Usue Egia proposes a journey through various characters and stories that illustrate a call for freedom to everyone to define themselves and feel as they wish.
Garelako, by Eneko Sagardoy: “The gray sky will not suffocate us. We will flee to the sun. They want to put straw hearts on us. Let us feel what we prefer. If the bird’s wings are for walking, if the whale is denied the sea, we will see nothing but fiction. If above all words is the lie, we will go forward, whether you like it or not. If someone is free, it is because we are all free. We will truly live with you or without you. You will realize it sooner or later. We are not monsters; we do not eat anyone. The sun warms us, and the rain wets us. Now you have realized: we are flesh and blood, like you. Marichico or Marichica, they call us. Stop talking banally. Learn one thing well and keep it in your head, that the only Mari is the one of Anboto”.
