"In general I don't love people"

  • Because short films can go a long way.
Koldo Almandoz
Koldo Almandoz 'The Balde'-ko zuzendariaDani Blanco

He recorded his first short in New York.


And what merit does that have? Filming in New York is much easier than filming here, and to be honest, I didn’t go to write in my resume the “New York” line that many creators consider essential.

“I’m American and I’m proud of it!”


How long will we keep looking for equipment? How long with these complexes? The poem read in a bar in New York is dedicated to the New page. Read the poem in a bar and nothing. What's going on here?

That the short film circuit looks almost clandestine!


Everything seems to be fast and easy to consume, because if you’re not on YouTube you don’t exist. Short or long, is anyone interested in cinema? Looking at the rooms...


You know... the crisis... the seven euro tickets...


Those who claim that culture should be free consider themselves progressive, but in fact, they are some facades!

Keep making friends.


To save the Real Sociedad uses everyone’s money, the social cards cost a fortune, and instead of going out on fire, we go to the Anoeta wearing a shirt that costs 70 euros. No problem for that, right?

You know, since we're all "creators"...


We are all photographers, we are all writers, we are all filmmakers... It is true that the media has been democratized, but talent has nothing to do with democracy.

Are you talking about Odon Elorza's intentions for San Sebastian?


This wicked city lives only with a focus on hospitality and tourism. If you are a mechanic or delineator in San Sebastián you don’t deserve anything. The designation of Cordoba as the European Capital of Culture in 2016 is the best that can happen to San Sebastian.

Trying to take Tabakalera to Cordoba, or what?


There are too many politicians to make things right. They think that when they decide to invest the money they are in charge, but it is not their money, but everyone’s. Anyway, given what's happened with Real, we may have the authorities we deserve.


You're not a Realist, are you?


I hide the real thing, but I'm a realist. I can spend four hours watching TV in a row fooling myself. It bothers me, but I feel like I'm part of everything I criticize.

Have you ever taken an appointment with a psychoanalyst?


No, because I've relativized things, and I've learned to see them in a more micro sense rather than in a macro sense. In general, I don't like people. I care about those around me and those who push me forward in life.

"Deer." Possible influx of a river
I have read and indeed read that this film would be a more conventional proposal than the previous ones by Almandoz, but it did not seem to me that that is why the implication that the viewer is asking for has been greatly diminished: In the Oreina, the audience must guess many... [+]

The Festival is now SSIFF (but knows Basque)
The San Sebastian Film Festival is not one of those festivals that make risky changes, that is clear. But with a medium-term perspective, it has been able to adapt in some ways. For example, the space occupied by the Basque film festival is greater than ten years ago. This year... [+]
