"There's nothing more cinematic than bragging"

  • .3, 2, 1... recording!
Dani Blanco

Who cares about cinema?


To me, to the nostalgic, to those who are avoiding their disappearance, to the fauna surrounding the festivals, to the distributors... From there, there are no filmmakers, there are only movie lovers.

Today’s cinemas seem like an apology to Oteiza’s emptiness!


Do I have to swallow what's in the cartel because I'm a movie buff? Why do all the cinemas fill up at the Festival? Since when do we care so much about the original versions? Is being at the film festival about being a filmmaker?

The essence of cinema is in short films, namely Youtube.


Not everyone is on YouTube, and not everyone is on YouTube. The YouTube videos are now commented on in the same way that the chronicles of the previous newspapers were commented on. But beware, we are what we want to be on the Internet, not who we really are.


I was a fool looking for talent on the Internet.


When it comes to selling, where is the talent? Often there is no talent, sometimes it is not used, but talent has never been necessary to make a film.


Even more naive was I; wasn’t cinema the seventh art?


Talent and riding opportunities don’t always go hand in hand. Public relation and a lot of big libels are making cinema and not making many talented people. He who has a philosophy must devour it, and he who is willing to devour everything has no philosophy.

Kimuak is the philosophy of short films in the Basque Country.


Kimuak is responsible for selling and distributing your lettuce. That's the best reward your short can have. But they have never selected my work, and my shorts have had to be moved and amortized by me. You know, there are buds and last monkeys!

Didn’t they say you were a “Basque female filmmaker”?


I am a filmmaker! Yes, I am a Basque woman, but even if I was a man and a Mongolian, I would be a filmmaker, not a Mongolian male filmmaker. When I am working I am not aware of my gender and origin. I have them integrated into the personality and that's it.


We journalists also have the identity to ask the person who is in short films “when is the first film?”


Why don't you ask me what I've been trying to tell you by moving a character from here to there? Don’t you know that a short film has nothing to do with a long one? When will you understand that the short ones are not presentation cards?


When you do a piece of tajo about Alarde!


There is nothing more cinematic than a show. What happened and what is happening is so surreal... When time gives reason to the truth, the film will be more effective.

The 'favorite' places

The other day I went to a place I hadn’t visited in a long time and I liked it so much. While I was there, I felt at ease and thought: this is my favorite place. Amulet, amulet, amulet; the word turns and turns on the way home. Curiosity led me to look for it in Elhuyar and it... [+]
