Memory offers us a basis on which to recognise ourselves, but how can we remember something that nobody talks about? Through archive images provided by the Basque film library, Isa Sáez talks to her grandmother about the taboos of their relationship. This film was created in “Memorias Sinvergüenzas” a queer cinema lab from Elias Querejeta film school and Tabakalera.
A hungry and solitary weasel roams the dry landscape, intent on hunting the last remaining birds in a tree. The birds try to keep the tree in balance while the weasel doggedly climbs its trunk. The tree sways, the stomach growls, the weasel persists until it’s too late. A classic anti-hero cartoon – not just for children.
Federico is an eighty-year-old impoverished nobleman seeped in Risorgimento ideals. He buys an extremely cheap apartment in Gorizia that looks out over Piazza della Transalpina. The reason the place costs so little is immediately clear: every day a man comes and sits on the Slovenian side of the border of the piazza and with impunity, brazenly stares fixedly at the windows of the apartment. For Federico, this becomes a challenge to be accepted forthwith.
