title: Fragmentos para una historia del otro cine español

overview: Documentary about the history of experimental cinema in Spain.  FRAGMENTS is a historical survey of “the other” Spanish Cinema — films that brazenly explored their artistic, poetic and conceptual potential.

For the first time in Spain, a documentary brings together the most relevant of a cinema that is slowly losing its invisibility.

title: Han (on the sun)

overview: Han closes a trilogy that began with Ere erera baleibu... (1968) and continued with Impressions en haute atmosphère (1991), which goes from the microcosm of atoms (Ere Erera) to the macrocosm of cosmic galaxies. After an "informal" abstraction obtained through the projection of fine particles on a transparent film tape from which all notion of form is shunned, the artist reintroduced in his following movies simple shapes, circles and spirals, coils, reproduced according to the most traditional technique of movement decomposition (animation cinema), which "channels" Brownian motion of matter.

title: Impressions from the Upper Atmosphere

overview: Sistiaga painted directly on 70mm film a circular (planetary?) form, around which dance shifting colours in a psychedelic acceleration matched by the soundtrack’s deep-space roar and howl. - Cinema Scope

original_title: Impresiones en la alta atmósfera

title: Impressions from the Upper Atmosphere

title: ...ere erera baleibu icik subua aruaren... 2 version négative

overview: In the tradition of the painters of the Romantic movement, Sistiaga became interested in the question of transparency in painting, particularly starting with the painted film experiment ERE ERERA BALEIBU… The film evokes atomic matter imagined in full light; in 2022, following a 4K restoration of this film, the artist proposed an inverted version, as he had done at the beginning of the 1990s for his two films EN UN JARDÍN IMAGINADO and PAISAJE INQUITANTE-NOCTURNO. After all, is it light or dark between the atoms? A misguided question of an earthling!

title: … ere erera baleibu izik subua aruaren…

overview: An experimental film: dozens of pictorial techniques applied directly on celluloid; a work of impressive aesthetics that recovers certain ideas of abstract expressionism: endless chromaticism, constant mutations, the music of the cosmos, mysticism, synesthesia… and an enigmatic title that, although it imitates the phonetics of the Basque language, means nothing.
