UK Premiere
Etxea is a documentary about life in a rural community that explores the relationship between the residents of three houses who are brought together by a moment of crisis.
Set in the heart of the Basque Country in Spain, the film follows Phil Miller from Scotland, who is living isolated in an old house, as well as Felica and Maria Esther, two elderly ladies who lead a humble and traditional life, and a group of squatters who move into an abandoned building. These disparate groups work together to recover a sense of community that has been lost in the small villages of rural Spain.
Through a tale of necessity and care, the film looks at themes of isolation, community and the meaning of home as defined in the Basque culture.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Director Basharat Khan
Dir. Basharat Khan, 49m, Spain / UK, 2014, Spanish / English and Basque with English subtitles
