MUSIC FOR MOUNTAIN FILMPAULA OLAZ / JOAQUÍN GÓMEZ Monday December 6 – 11:00 Itsasmuseum Free entry by registering on the web. Until full capacity. Film buffs, in one way or another, get a thrill out of listening to a film soundtrack. It is time to give value to this work and that the composer be recognised as another member of the filmmaking team, and be acknowledged for his or her contribution to getting the team to the top. Paula Olaz already has an interesting track record in composing soundtracks for fictional feature films. Joaquín Gómez has worked more on the advertising side of composing, while always being linked to nature through the soundtracks composed for short films. They will talk about the contributions of music to mountain cinema.

ATXARTE FRIENDSARANTZA SAEZ DE LAFUENTE Tuesday December 7 – 11:00 Itsasmuseum Free entry by registering on the web. Until full capacity. Arantza Saez de la Fuente works in a continuous plastic experimentation, in which the treatment of nature is one of the most significant constants. All her projects have a photographic base, like this one in Atxarte. On a visit to the site, she is invaded by mixed memories, between the hustle and bustle generated by the quarry and the practice of climbing on the surrounding walls. And although time has passed, she celebrates the fact that climbers and mountaineers continue to come to the mountain. All her projects have a photographic basis like 'Atxarte' that is exhibited in the Itsasmuseum itself.

THE REGIL SAGASAGA REGIL + EMMOA Tuesday December 7 – 18:30 Pangea The Travel Store Free entry by registering on the web. Until full capacity. In Biscayan mountaineering, the Regil surname, is far more than a name, it speaks of a dynasty. Four brothers of the family, Andrés, Ángel, José Mari and Toñin, have been pioneers in ski mountaineering and climbing, as well as promoters of the passage that bears the saga's name in The Picos de Europa. Some of them are still active today and can offer current generations a privileged perspective on the evolution of skiing and mountaineering in Bizkaia in the second half of the last century.

EVEREST 1924, EL ENIGMA DE IRVINE Y MALLORYSEBASTIÁN ÁLVARO LOMBA Tuesday December 7 – 20:00 Euskalduna Were George Mallory and Andrew Irvine really the first human beings to reach the highest peak on the planet? This question has been in the collective subconscious ever since they disappeared in 1924 during their attempt to be the first to climb Everest, and it is still remains to be one of the great mysteries of mountaineering. Sebastián Álvaro goes much further in his attempt to find an answer to this enigma. He immerses us in a historical journey through the beginnings of mountaineering from a romantic vision that marked the end of the Great Age of exploration.

TIRICH MIR 1976. Dreams of youthEXPEDICIONARIOS TIRICH MIR + EMMOA Wednesday December 8 – 12:00 Pangea The Travel Store Free entry by registering on the web. Until full capacity. In the spring of 1976, a group of nine “Biscayans” embarked on an adventure that could only be the result of their insulting youth. Canned up in two vans, they travelled thousands of kilometres across Europe and Asia. Their destination was Tirich Mir West, a 7338-metre high mountain in Pakistan's Hindu Kush. Forty-five years later, some of the protagonists of the journey will remind us all, through photographs and testimonies, of the honey and the bitterness of that youthful audacity.

THE GEO-ESSENCE OF MOUNTAIN FILMSEÑAUT IZAGIRRE + IBAI RICO + CECILIA BUIL Wednesday December 8 – 18:00 Sala BBK Mountain films feature a wide range of protagonists: peaks, walls, streams, people.... But there are nameless beings who are always hidden from the spotlight and who explain the reason for the landscape. Cecilia Buil (mountaineer and climber) and Ibai Rico (Professor of Geology and researcher at the UPV, mountain guide and climber), will propose a new way of observing, understanding and living the mountains and nature, in a talk led by Eñaut Izagirre (geographer and glaciologist).
