POSTERS

In the Official selection poster category, “El espectador” (The Spectator) by the graphic designer and illustrator from Uruguay, Matías Francolino, and the designer from Vitoria living in Uruguay, Blanka Barrio.

The poster “aims to represent the stimulation of the senses prompted in spectators by cinema. A homage to the symbiosis between filmmakers and their audiences”.

In the New Directors category the winner is the poster “Family”, by the designer of Polish origin, Mateusz Marek.

On the subject of his work Mateusz says: “I have tried to capture the freshness of the image conveyed by new directors and the knowledge they may gain in the future. Markers, pens and paintbrushes on A4”.

In the Horizontes Latinos category, “Mi horizonte” (My horizon), by the young designer from San Sebastian, Maite Rosende:

“Exclusively using primary colours and adding a texture reminiscent of the earth, I worked to create a simple image to which we can attribute never-ending meanings and interpretations. The horizon, that line that seems to separate the sky from the earth, is represented here by the profile of a woman’s face with a lost gaze in her eyes”.

In the Pearls, category the winning poster is “Perlas que brillan como estrellas” (“Pearls that shine like stars”), by the designer from San Sebastian, Andoni Tebar Gaztambide.

“Every year cinema regales us with tales of unthinkable, romantic, action, fictional realities... Great films that are screened in festivals all over the world and that are today the pearls of our own event...”.
 

The poster “Tuberías 3” (Pipes 3) has been chosen as the image of this year’s Zabaltegi section. Its author is the Bolivian graphic artist Marco Tóxico. Marco has exhibited and published in several countries and was selected as one of the top ten 10 illustrators at Ukraine’s COW International Design Festival in 2012. In 2014 his poster was selected as the official image of the Montreal International Film Festival in Canada.

“Given that Zabaltegi is a space dedicated to films with no formal or thematic limits, I thought the best idea would be a poster that highlighted a search, a search which is perhaps somewhat fated never to reach its final destination, but instead to learn and above all to enjoy all the variants along the way. That’s why I decided to use a person who has lost a shoe in a strange labyrinth of pipes. The audience who come along to this unclassifiable cinema has lost something and aims to find it inside the cinema”.

Lastly, for the section dedicated to cinema and gastronomy: Culinary Zinema, the chosen poster is "Marilyn" by the duo formed by Noemí Gómez Lobo from Asturias and Diego Martín Sánchez, from Salamanca, who have been working since 2012 on different projects that explore the hazy limits between art, architecture and design.

“Taking an interest in the point of view of the author, the filmmaker, the chef, the actor, and their transformation into an icon, we began with the idea of the enormously intense yet terribly short-lived experience of taking a bite, out of a film, or a kiss. Created with the cross-section of a strawberry and a drop of chocolate, our intention was to evoke the mole on Marilyn’s lip, turning the actual poster itself into a game. On the other hand, the intensity of the strawberry colour contrasts with a neutral background, like a mouthful of haute cuisine on a plate with no limits”.

Savage Cinema

"C´est pas grave c´est la famille” stands for brotherhood and the ties that bind those who live with a passion for any sport or lifestyle. David Martelleur’s portrait, taken during the 62nd edition of San Sebastian Film Festival in 2014, expresses the closeness of those who share this passion. The iconic skater, whose film, DANGER DAVE, was selected at last year’s Savage Cinema, was photographed by Iker Basterretxea. Design by Federico Yankelevich.
