The three artists will work in circumstances that allow an exploration very focused on improvisation and freshness, with previously composed parts and will create a live piece.

Directed by Fermín Muguruza.

Alaine Aranburu, assistant director and member of the Immigrants' Reception Network in Irun, presents the film.
An excellent documentary account of the love affair with the Bidasoa River and the situation of illegal immigrants trying to cross the border between Spain and France. The closure of some crossings of the Pyrenean-Atlantic border.
The Bidasoa natural barrier, imposed by France in the summer of 2018 to prevent the entry of migrants in transit to other European countries, caused 10 deaths in one year. Seven people have died since April 2021 drowned in the waters of the Bidasoa River between Irun and Hendaye, and
three others lost their lives in October 2021, run over by a train in Ziburu. This documentary, in addition to giving voice and putting faces to several of the activists on both sides of the river, such as representatives of the associations
Harrera Sarea (Welcome Network) and Bidasoa Etorkinekin (Bidasoa with migrants), also remembers those who lost their lives, putting names, age, crossing and dreams, knowing the history and the people behind the cold figures of the deceased, humanizing in this way the
tragedy.

Fermín Urdánoz and Arte Nuevo.

ANA S. HOLMES (Pamplona, 1996)

He began his activity in urban art and has progressively transferred the critical essence, activism and language of his origins to the multiple means of expression in which he has worked. His work in painting, installation, photography and fanzine, along with his work in design, form a coherent whole, a vehicle of expression of a vision of the world that is acid, painful, emotional, committed, anti-capitalist and with a dose of humor.

FERMÍN URDANOZ (Pamplona, 1977)

His entire professional career has always been linked to artistic creation, developing projects in different disciplines such as art direction, graphic design, illustration, sculpture and mainly drawing and painting.

NEW ART

New art is the idea of an imaginary artist devoid of
an individual identity born out of experimentation, dialogue with other artists and the recycling of leftover materials used to create material artistic processes. At a formal level, she works from the unconsciousness and investigates the possibility of the unfolding of time.
