Among these, she cites adaptations such as the version by Imanol Rayo in 2011 from Bernardo Atxaga\u2019s novel <em>Bi anai<\/em> (1985) or the film version by Jabi Elortegi in 2009 of Anjel Lertxundi\u2019s <em>Zorion perfektua<\/em> (2002).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>This relationship, \u201cfar from breaking down, would appear to be gathering strength\u201d, claims Agirre, pointing out new examples which continue to unite Basque literature and cinema. There is, for example, <strong><em>Elkarrekin esnatzeko ordua<\/em>, by Kirmen Uribe<\/strong>, which is being adapted by Asier Altuna and Txintxua Films as <strong><em>Karmele; Bihotz handiegia<\/em>, by Eider Rodr\u00edguez<\/strong>, whose film version is being created by Arag\u00f3n director <strong>Pilar Palomero<\/strong> starring Antonio de la Torre and Patricia L\u00f3pez Arnaiz; the film adaptation of the novel by <strong>Txani Rodr\u00edguez <em>Los \u00faltimos rom\u00e1nticos<\/em><\/strong>, with a screenplay by David P\u00e9rez Sa\u00f1udo and Marina Par\u00e9s, produced by Irusoin and La Claqueta as <strong><em>Azken erromantikoak<\/em><\/strong>; or <strong><em>Amek ez dute<\/em><\/strong>, by Katixa Agirre, which, directed by Catalan filmmaker <strong>Mar Coll<\/strong> (co-scriptwriter with Valentina Viso), and produced by Esc\u00e1ndalo Films and El\u00e1stica Films, will be hitting film screens next year in Spanish as <em>Las madres no<\/em>.\r\n<\/p><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ZINEBI \u2013 International Festival of Documentary and Short Film of Bilbao \u2013 organised by Bilbao Town Hall \u2013 is making a start on activities ahead of the 65th Festival (to be staged between 10 and 17 November) with an encounter between female writers and directors, Euskal zinema eta literatura, tomorrow 26 October at Bira Kulturgunea [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":23519,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[377],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23524","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/zinebi.eus\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23524","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/zinebi.eus\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/zinebi.eus\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zinebi.eus\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zinebi.eus\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23524"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/zinebi.eus\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23524\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23529,"href":"https:\/\/zinebi.eus\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23524\/revisions\/23529"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zinebi.eus\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23519"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/zinebi.eus\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23524"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zinebi.eus\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23524"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zinebi.eus\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23524"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
