Present the 16th edition of the Alternative Film Festival to deal with the gesture and racism in Palestine
- The Donostiarra popular movement has presented the 16th edition of the Alternative Film Festival (11 + 5, as they say themselves, in reference to the five years of the collapse of gaztetxe Kortxoenea), which is held in different neighborhoods. This year, six projections will be made in the following neighbourhoods: Txomin Enea, Intxaurrondo, Gros, the architecture school of the UPV/EHU, Egia and the Old. From the cartel itself, importance has been given to Palestine, which has lagged behind.
This is the program presented by the members of the Alternative Film Festival, together with the San Sebastian Film Festival, on the occasion of their screenings on the street and in the self-managed spaces of the city.
In this 2024 edition, two themes or realities have been highlighted, as they have explained. First of all, the festival wishes to show its solidarity with the Palestinian people and to denounce the genocide being carried out by the State of Israel. Proof of this is the poster they have prepared for this edition of the Durango Azoka. The poster wanted to applaud and take advantage of the gesture of actress Cate Blanchett to Palestine on the red carpet in Cannes, where a child died. In addition, Tuesday, September 24, Marruma de Gros will feature the movie Farha, which is censored on platforms like Netflix, Filmin and others.
On the other hand, the Alternative Film Festival has joined the call of hundreds of people on 7 August to end the racism and fascism that “rise” in San Sebastian. "With security as an excuse, xenophobic discourses and attitudes are multiplying against migrated and racialized people, while at the same time denying the real root of the problem. In this context, the Alternative Film Festival also has to strengthen the organization and culture of anti-repressive, anti-razist and anti-fascist,” they say. This is the aim of the programme that has been organized for Thursday, September 26 at the Egia Roofing Plant.
The agenda is as follows.
Friday 20 September at 20:00 in Plaza Arteleku de Txomin Enea if it is good time, in case of bad weather at the Lanberri headquarters: Back.

Edurne Azkarate said from the micro stage that the Basque film has little Basque in the celebration of the San Sebastian Film Festival. The phrase echoes for its truthfulness. In the architecture scene you can repeat the same motto and I am sure that in so many other cultural... [+]
