FCVQ: Basque short films

The Festival de cinéma de la ville de Québec (FCVQ), held from September 11 to 15 in the capital of Québec, presents five Basque short films in this edition:

- Ximinoa (Itziar Leemans, 2023)

- Hirugarren koadernoa (Lur Olaizola Lizarralde, 2022)

- Week 12 (Isabel Delclaux, 2023)

- The illustrated woman (Isabel Herguera, 2023)

- Kusikozu (Aitor Irulegi, 2023)

The Carte blanche au Festival ZINEBI session, which will take place on September 13 at the Beaumont cinema, is the result of a collaboration between the FCVQ and ZINEBI (Bilbao International Documentary and Short Film Festival).

The five short films chosen are Basque films that stood out in the last edition of ZINEBI, chosen also in line with the new editorial line of the FCVQ.

As part of this collaboration, FCVQ will present the film ´Huitième étage, jours de révolte´ at the next edition of ZINEBI in November, which will be attended by the film’s director, Pedro Ruiz.

This exchange takes place within the framework of the Québec - Pays Basque program, promoted by Etxepare Euskal Institutua and the Quebec Ministry of Culture and Communication, which seeks to strengthen ties between artists, creators, festivals and cultural operators of both countries. It also has the support of the Québec Office in Barcelona.
