Director: Amaia Lejarreta
Amaia Lejarreta is an established Basque artist. Her bodypainting is cleverly combined with the vertical dancing of Janire Etxabe, all under the supervision of Jon Mendizabal’s filming and editing. Throughout this project, Amaia reflects upon concepts such as territory, space/time, memory, identity and the body’s life cycles. The lands of Bizkaia are present, as are the echoes of Basque mythology. Echoes which for the artist are not only a source of inspiration but a reflection.

EUSKADI PREMIERE
If Mont Blanc is The King in Chamonix, the Aiguille Verte is The Queen. Climbed for the first time in 1866 by the English mountaineer Whymper, it wasn't until 1968 that the Swiss Sylvain Saudan imagined and dared the first ski descent of the Whymper couloir. It was a seminal achievement in steep skiing, inspiring generations of skiers from Patrick Vallençant and Marco Siffredi to Jean-Marc Boivin, Bruno Gouvy, Eric Bellin and Pierre Tardivel. This film retraces 50 years of steep skiing at La Verte, through the eyes of Vivian Bruchez.
