Programme curated by Elías Querejeta Zine Eskola Curatorship students -2023-2024 promotion- with the collaboration of Tabakalera.
Arriving on a deserted island is a particular experience. What awaits us far from the mainland? The anguish of loneliness? The dream of liberation? An island, whether real or imaginary, is a place to begin again.
This new beginning is the starting point for this film programme, which takes place in the Tabakalera cinema. After all, the cinema screen is also an island that welcomes and unites – that opens the way to new possibilities. The curated films explore the notion of residing in a space, forging collective existence, and transcending isolation for self-discovery.
The programme, developed collectively by the group of Film Curating students of the 2023-2024 promotion of Elías Querejeta Zine Eskola, consists of films by artists such as Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Sílvia das Fadas and Sharon Lockhart. Moreover, two installations centered on Isla Santa Clara and Isla de los Faisanes accompany the event: Lika by Deva Pereda and ODOYÁ IS NOT HERE!, by Ana Júlia Silvino.
