OLVÍDATE DEL CINE! (forget about cinema!) (2025)

Directed by Arantzazu Gómez Bayón

Production: Pietari Mikkonen (Finland)/Altube Filmeak (Spain)

Feature Documentary (78 minutes)

Arantxa, a promising filmmaker who never intended to be a parent, finds her career abruptly interrupted and her life drastically changed after becoming a mother. "Forget about cinema, your child is what matters now", her own mother advises her. Turning the rawness of everyday life into cinematic poetry and weaving itself to the history of film, Forget About Cinema! takes us through one artist's journey of trying to remain herself while reconciling with the overwhelming demands of motherhood. Through a sharp lens, the personal merges with the political, and humour with pain.
