New Basque Restorations 1
We are pleased to welcome the director of a major European film archive, the Basque Film Archive, based in San Sebastián. Joxean Fernández has put together a program of films recently restored by the archive that highlight the uniqueness of Basque cinema within the global film landscape. For this truly exceptional event, we will also welcome the esteemed filmmaker Montxo Armendáriz, a multiple Goya Award winner and Academy Award nominee. He will engage with the audience, particularly during the screening of his film Tasio, whose newly restored version is making its Canadian premiere following a special screening at the Cannes Film Festival.
