A quarter of a century linking cinema and history in the Bidasoa
From 10 to 15 November, the Amaia Cutur Centre in Irun will host the 25th edition of the FICAB Bidasoa International Archaeological Festival, both the films of the Official Section (twenty film original with subtitles in Spanish) and those of the Department of Education (seven films in original version with appendices in Basque).
The film festival is directed by Aizpea Goenaga, director of the Oiasso Museum, and this year the jury will consist of Jesús Cimarro, Giulia Pruni, Juan Manuel García-Ruiz, Ana Belén Marín and Mertxe Urteaga.
In total, the festival will offer the Festival Grand Prix (2,000 euros), the Special Audience Award (1,000 euros), the EITB Gender Perspective Award (1,000 euros), the Department of Education Award (750 euros) and the Arkeolan Prize for Scientific Outreach (no financial awards).
As usual, movies will also be offered free of charge on the FESTHOME platform.
The 25th edition is, in Goenaga's words, "a celebration, but also a sign of commitment and continuous action: we will continue to learn from the past to understand the present and build the future."
