The filmmaker built a cabin on an isolated riverbank, just opposite his childhood island, which had disappeared under the water after the construction of a dam.\u00a0 The goal was to go back to that place, which had become invisible.\u00a0 Only the trees of the island where he&#8217;d played stood firm in the middle of the water, like the masts of a broken toy, so the air was the only space left, the only vestige of the past to be conquered.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This film is a diary of a castaway in memories; four months of a Walden experience in a lost paradise with two hens, a small vegetable garden and a clock that stopped forever at 11:36 and 23 seconds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>2019, directed by Oskar Alegria 122 minutes, color, in Euskara with English subtitles.<\/em><\/p>\n<h5>reviews:<\/h5>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cZumiriki is the most undefinable film in the whole festival,\u201d claimed Alberto Barbera, director of the Mostra\u2019s Orizzonti section of the Venice International Film Festival. \u201cEach scene brings a new surprising idea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;A feast for the soul, an anthropology of time, a masterpiece.&#8221; &#8211; Alan Berliner<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;This movie is unlike any other; like a Robinson Crusoe of memory.&#8221; &#8211; Eric Pauwels<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Bold and masterful.\u00a0 This film shows us that cinema is the home of childhood.&#8221; &#8211; Ignacio Aguero<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_separator wpb_content_element vc_separator_align_center vc_sep_width_100 vc_sep_pos_align_center vc_separator_no_text vc_sep_color_grey wpb_content_element  wpb_content_element\" ><span class=\"vc_sep_holder vc_sep_holder_l\"><span class=\"vc_sep_line\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"vc_sep_holder vc_sep_holder_r\"><span class=\"vc_sep_line\"><\/span><\/span>\n<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_video_widget wpb_content_element vc_clearfix   vc_video-aspect-ratio-169 vc_video-el-width-100 vc_video-align-left\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_video_wrapper\"><div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tBAFFkHTTdI?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=eu&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid gradient-container-2\"><div class=\"gradient-column-2 wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-3\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_center wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper   vc_box_border_grey\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.basqueeducational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/oskar_alegria_by_patxi_uriz-150x150.png\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" title=\"oskar_alegria_by_patxi_uriz\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.basqueeducational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/oskar_alegria_by_patxi_uriz-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.basqueeducational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/oskar_alegria_by_patxi_uriz-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.basqueeducational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/oskar_alegria_by_patxi_uriz-348x348.png 348w, https:\/\/www.basqueeducational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/oskar_alegria_by_patxi_uriz-354x354.png 354w, https:\/\/www.basqueeducational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/oskar_alegria_by_patxi_uriz-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/www.basqueeducational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/oskar_alegria_by_patxi_uriz.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"gradient-column-3 wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-9\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h5>About the Director<\/h5>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oskar Alegria Suescun (Pamplona, Spain, 1973) is a film director, programmer, and professor.

One day I noticed him filming the plants and birds that were disappearing and at the same time he was logging the words for them in old Basque language with the soundtrack. Then I learned that if words die, birds and plants also vanish. Filming was then to save our ancient world. Filming to live twice. Filming where we hear ourselves as children.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SYNOPSIS: Is it possible to travel twice to the same memory?
