I’M NOT FROM HERE

a short film directed and written by Giedrė Žickytė & Maite Alberdi

“Not only is this beautifully filmed, but it magically captures and intertwines both human nature and strong Basque personality traits, making it very easy for the viewer to identify with the main character. I laughed and cried and, because I watched it alone, was left wanting to talk to someone else because there’s so much to unpack from this 25-minute film.”

Josebe, who is living in a nursing home in Chile, is surrounded by Chileans who say she is Spanish, but she continues to stand firm that she is not Spanish but is, in fact, Basque.
