Ezohikoak

By working with archive photographs, the animator Alejandra Bueno reinterprets the presence of women in Basque culture, combining the manipulation and intervention of these images with the oral enumeration of the functions traditionally attributed to women. The result is a provocative example of how to assume and reverse the elements of tradition and its representation to show its fissures and to open those meanings that are no longer viable or sustainable. In the process we will witness new representations of gender and sexual options that further dynamite the critical discourse that the short film intends.

Synopsis: The idea of the Basque matriarchy has reached our days, but is it real? It seems very pretty, but sometimes the story is not as it is told to us, and that is why this short film will tell us a more recent version through a collage of images.
