DREAMING OF MOMO

For Carlos, the shock of his brother’s terminal diagnosis hit deeply. What could he do?

Eltzegorra

It is said that we hear with our eyes, that when we are unable to identify the origin of a sound with our sight, our sense of alert is activated. In 1729, two brothers from Idiazabal were sentenced to exile for playing a forbidden instrument, the eltzegorra, a clay pot made of cat fur with a rope hanging from it. In the trial, documented in a manuscript from that year, witnesses recall the events, making special mention of the description of sound and its effects. Now, through the staging of the trial, the film explores the evocative power of sound and the fear of the unknown.
