IN MEMORIAM
The Zinemira Award, presented at the Basque Cinema Gala, is the honorary award bestowed by the San Sebastian Festival and the EPE/APV and IBAIA producers associations upon the career of an outstanding figure, programme or institution in the field of Basque cinema. To date, the award has gone to Imanol Uribe (2009), Álex Angulo (2010), Elías Querejeta (2011), Michel Gaztambide (2012), Juanba Berasategi (2013), Pedro Olea (2014), Karmele Soler (2015), Ramón Barea (2016), Julia Juaniz (2017), Ramón Agirre (2018), Jose María Txepe Lara (2019), Sara Bilbatua (2020) and the Kimuak programme (2021). This year, the Festival and the producers association have decided to pay tribute to the collective of technicians, anonymous professionals without whose work Basque cinema would not be possible, personalised through the figure of the gaffer Txema Areizaga, who died last year.
Areizaga, manager of the company from Gipuzkoa Argilun Iluminación, started his professional career in the cinema with Ke arteko egunak (Antxon Eceiza, 1990), the first film in the Basque language to compete in the Festival’s Official Selection. In 1991 he founded Argilun, the company which has participated in around a hundred movies including Vacas (Cows), La ardilla roja (The Red Squirrel),Lasa y Zabala, Negociador (Negotiator),Loreak (Flowers), Ocho apellidos vascos (Spanish Affair), Amama, Oreina (The Deer), El hijo del acordeonista (The Accordionist’s Son), 70 binladens, Nora and La trinchera infinita (The Endless Trench). His last work was Irati.
