Directing
Marina Lameiro Garayoa (Iruñea / Pamplona, 1986) is a Basque filmmaker.
Created by 24 fabulous filmmakers and two talented sound artists in conjunction with the 2018 edition of Punto De Vista International Documentary Film Festival in Pamplona, Spain.
On October 4th, 2007 Arantza, the director of the film, was detained and taken to prison. She remembers a few things about those days: endlessly walking around the prison exercise yard, swimming competitions, Rasha's prison journey... After 918 nights locked up, Arantza is set free. From then onwards, she recorded her memories and doubts, which are heard throughout the documentary as a kind of fragmented memoir.
In an attempt to reclaim pasture for their cattle, the inhabitants of an ecovillage in Navarre decide to cut down a pine grove planted as part of a state-funded reforesting initiative. In this fierce and sensory work, the filmmakers capture an adversarial process which uses deforestation techniques to transform a territory.
Two men measure the heights of pine trees. A woman listens to what the trees are saying. The children of the village set up the camp. A cloud of digital dots reveals the forest. The pines have said that we can ask. They always called this place 'Paraíso'. Machines will come soon.
After 25 years of non-stop creation and at the peak of their career, the rock band Berri Txarrak decided to hang up their instruments. But before they did that, and as a farewell, they did one last tour around the world to thank all those fans who had bopped to their music all those years. A film about the power of music and passion — the “minimum requirement,” as one of their lyrics says.
In Aurizberri there are nights when women disappear without a trace, and there are those who speak of witchcraft… The inhabitants of this Navarrese town get in front of and behind the camera to unravel the myths and mysteries that hide in the daily life of the place.
An example of a very extended practice in New York City, a city where apparently there is no place anymore for low income and working class people. The detention of Josh and Amron Israel opens a space for hope
'Young & Beautiful' is the polyhedric portrait of a generation accused of not wanting to grow-up; a generation which has been cornered to accept a hopeless world and a country in crisis, in which it has been announced that the one way to survive is to abandon dreams.
Uztarroz is a village in the Navarrese Pyrenees where, until the summer of 2022, 3 films had been shot without the authorship and decisions of its inhabitants. In this fourth film they collectively determine how to portray the village and self-represent themselves.
At last we are starting to hear the voice of women in the cinema. We celebrate it with this documentary on the Basque women moviemakers of yesterday and today, giving a global overview of the subject. Three female divers guide us through the topic of their films, their points of view, their dreams, their efforts to get somewhere, their contribution to the cinema and to society.
A study on what the transition to old age means from a female perspective, taking as an example the director's two grandmothers, witnesses of the dictatorship, the transition and of contemporary Spain.
