A big challenge for A Serious Comedy, the fake documentary by Lander Camarero. Nizar Rawi, director of the Iraqi Film Festival, is fed up with not presenting any comedy to the festival and is thus launching the first Iraqi comedy, in which he hopes to change his country image internationally. But not everyone will see with good eyes the desire to laugh in hard contexts. Camarero talks about the importance, influence and power of humor in difficult situations, without losing the opportunity to denounce before the Supreme. A critical comedy that belongs to him, that is strong and convincing. This is the second result of the trilogy on activism, previously made by A Political Story, and now being prepared by the third: A Revenge Story.

The film that Aitor Arrangi bought in Zarautz has won the Golden Goose in the last edition of the Lekeitio Basque Film Festival.

The new thing about Koldo Almandoz is beautiful: The latest flight from Hubert Le Blon. Based on the life of Hubert Le Blon, one of the pioneers in the world of the motorcycle, the aviation show made in San Sebastian from the gaze of his wife, in a simple and subtle way, combining archival material and animation. “I wanted to give my wife a voice, because she is the most unknown couple in the history of this peculiar duo. And I found it nice to show the last flight through animation, give it a dreamer touch,” says Almandoz.

Don Miguel de Kote Camacho, narrated shortly, is a direct and clear message to the ethics of banks and bankers. It has an original trait, reminiscent of Sin City and comic style.

The film by Asier Altuna SOROA, for its part, is part of a poem by Jorge Oteiza entitled Leave every death an accusing finger to the sky, with a dose of surrealism. The powerful landscapes of the Bardenas attract the attention of the spectator; the arid lands, the closed skies, the violent rains…

The last two papers are in Spanish. On the one hand, the work of Anómalo, Aitor Gutierrez, the story of three older men who spy on the neighbor in front of them with the help of the binoculars. The film mixes humor and a point of mystery, and it succeeds on several occasions, but at times we found it irregular.

Sailor’s Grave is a collective work, an animation that represents ten artists from all over the world taking the sea as a theme. It has as its starting point and goal creativity and experimentation, and it has much more than conventional cinema of art, creativity and experimentation.
