With the presence of the director and the selector Paola Cassano
What are these viewers watching, with their ravished faces, while the camera dwells on each and every expression? And who are these grey, shabby crowds portrayed in old and worn b&w photographs? True, at some point they will be actual audiences of a movie screening. But earlier, they were groups of worshipers from all over Spain who gathered in the little Guipuzcoan village to gain a first-hand experience of the so called 1931 “Ezkio Events”, i.e., alleged apparitions of the Virgin Mary to two little siblings who only spoke Basque. “The film interrogates the act of seeing and poses a question: ‘Is it possible to believe again in what one sees, in the place where one once believed?’” (Patxi Burillo Nuin)
Born in Pamplona in 1990, Patxi Burillo Nuin obtained a degree in architecture from the Universidad de Navarra and a postgraduate diploma in investigation and experimental cinema practice.
