Josean Cabarcos
Producer
He has a Bachelor´s Degree in Economics and he is Senior Technician in Audiovisual and Performances Production. Every time he looks back, he always remembers himself organizing: football and basketball games with friends, trips, dinners, taking care of the money when hanging around... He is not surprised at all by the fact of having ended up producing Bilbao Mendi Mendi Film Festival and directing Mendi TV. The 15 years that he has been working in audiovisual production have taught him that nothing is impossible, that you just need to believe, and that being surrounded by a good team is essential. He believes in Bilbao Mendi Film Festival and in the people who make it possible, but he also works very hard in order to make each edition even better than the previous one. We have to fulfil our dreams, that is his motto.
Ramon Olasagasti
Translator
Ramon Olasagasti is journalist by profession, but nowadays, he translates for a living. Mountain and writing are his favourite hobbies. For fifteen years he has been fortunate enough to be able to combine both passions on the newspapers “Euskaldunon Egunkaria” and “Berria”. Currently “Mendi” gives him the opportunity to continue making inroads into this area, as he makes the subtitles for the movies. In the mountain he has three favourite activities: cross country skiing, downhill skiing and mountain biking. He also loves reading and occasionally writing tales for children. His speciality involves pecking around a bit and enjoying it as much as possible, but above all, as the singer Ruper Ordorika says, taking care of what he loves.
Itziar Galdos
Image & Guest
With a Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing and Market Research and a University Degree in Interior Design, Itziar has spent 18 years working in marketing and communication. Apart from the festival, she also works in cultural events related to other sports such as the Martin Fiz Marathon, the Triathlon Vitoria and the Vitoria Tritrail. She started working for the festival in 2010, and some of her duties there involve taking care of the image and attending the main figures and guests. This is, at the same time, an intense and exciting work that gives her the opportunity to know first hand their experiences and projects. She loves every activity related to the mountain and she wouldn’t mind getting lost in the Picos de Europa or Ordesa.
