Ion de Sosa
Ion de Sosa (Urnieta, 1981), is a director, producer and director of photography. His feature film Sueñan los androides (Androids Dream) premiered at the Berlinale in 2015 and was widely screened at spanish and international festivals and art centres. The film reflects the constants of his cinema: the use of 16mm, the mixture of genres, and a signualr approach to time, composition and humour. He has worked as director of photography on the films of García Ibarra, Luis López Carrasco, Alberto Gracia and Irati Gorostidi. Currently, he is about to film Balearic, his fifth project as a director.
Once in the XX Century is a gallery-based exploration of the oeuvre of Lithuanian filmmaker Deimantas Narkevičius. The works included in the exhibition are:
Seamus Harahan presents Fucking Finland, an anthology of film freshly completed for his Festival commission.
With a hand-held video camera and armed with a painter’s eye and a musician’s ear, Harahan’s journey begins in Suomenlinna, an inhabited Finnish sea fortress with obvious parallels to Berwick, and traces a line across to Tallinn, Estonia and then on to Rostock, Germany.

The ferry connecting Hanko and Rostock becomes a melancholic pop metaphor for the old Iron Curtain era, creating audacious – maybe even insolent – links between places that were enveloped in two different and opposing ideological blocks not that long ago.
The Fucking Finland Series is supported by the Elephant Trust.
