Bilbao, December 8, 2025. The BBK Mendi Film Bilbao Bizkaia festival kicked off with a packed house and an unbeatable atmosphere. The three days, from Friday to Sunday, were lively and full of inspiration.
Among the film premieres, the premiere of ‘Oiarzabal. Between Juan and Juanito,’ presented by its director Javier Álvaro and the protagonist himself, was very moving. Mikel Urdangarin premiered “Itsasora,” about the sailor Unai Basurko, while the duo Gorka Ipiñazar and Haizea Huegun premiered “Sinkronia,” about the artist Gotzon Huegun. Also noteworthy were the internationally acclaimed “Best Day Ever,” represented in Bilbao by its stars Greg Durso and Allie Bianchi, “In Cold Blue,” by skier Victor de le Rue, and “B-I.G.” 'A World First', by climber Jacob Schubert, and 'Climbing for Life', a fictional film about Junko Tabei, the first woman to climb Everest 50 years ago, were among the highlights.
The comic about Edurne Pasaban was very well received at its presentation on Saturday. The protagonist herself, along with screenwriter Ramón Olasagasti, illustrator César Llaguno, colorist Felipe H. Navarro, and editor Argiñe Areitio of SUA edizioak, presented the work and signed books for fans.
