The 25th Anniversary of the FICAB Festival Will Be Celebrated from November 10 to 15
The 25th edition of the International Archaeological Film Festival of the Bidasoa (FICAB) is just around the corner. The Department of Culture of the City Council of Irun is gearing up for the celebration, starting with the presentation of the poster for this year´s edition.
A milestone date for a festival that, year after year, has consolidated its presence in the region and the wider territory, becoming the benchmark it is today. This annual event brings together both renowned production companies specializing in historical and archaeological documentaries and smaller productions supported by the quality of archaeological research.
In the words of Councillor Alzaga, “This year’s FICAB is not just any edition. While it’s true that all of them are special, this 25th edition and its silver jubilee allow us to appreciate the festival’s growth over the years and to see, in perspective, how it has become the reference point it is today. The poster we present today will serve as an incentive for an edition that will leave its mark.”
The poster, which features typical elements of the festival’s theme such as sarcophagi, valuable antiquities, and archaeological sites, includes at its center a golden number 25 to highlight the silver anniversary being celebrated this year.
It is worth noting that this year 24 films have been selected across both the official and educational sections. Notably, this year’s selection includes films from countries such as Russia, China, and Saudi Arabia, chosen for their quality and interest.
In this edition, all screenings will once again take place entirely at Amaia KZ, after last year’s temporary move to the Mendibil Shopping Center cinemas due to renovation works at the cultural center. As usual, all films will be available free of charge on the online platform FESTHOME.
Another important event this year will be the “FICAB Itinerante,” which will take place on November 13 at the Oiasso Museum. This meeting will bring together professionals from the fields of history and archaeology and will conclude with a reception hosted by the Mayor of Irun, Cristina Laborda, in the Chapter Hall of the Irun City Council.

Discovered 30 years ago, Chauvet Cave is one of the world’s most extraordinary prehistoric archaeological sites. Directed by Alexis de Favitski, this documentary offers a deep scientific investigation into the cave, home to the oldest known cave paintings in Europe, dating back 36,000 years. By interweaving physical evidence, digital reconstructions, and symbolic interpretations, the film presents Chauvet as more than an artistic sanctuary—it is a complex archaeological site where art, myth, and communal life converge. A captivating scientific journey into the very origins of human expression.

More than 600 years ago, Zhu Yuanzhang reigns over all of China after defying the Mongols. Victorious, he builds a political movement, proclaims himself emperor and founds, in the

city, the first Forbidden City. 2021. For 5 years, Chinese archaeologists have been mobilizing important means to discover the history of this site and
start ambitious reconstruction operations. The studied city turns out to be gigantic, even more important than the Forbidden City of Beijing!

11:15. House of Faun in Pompeii. Production: Altair4 Multimedia. Direction: Moretti, Stefano. Italia, 2025, 15 minutos. Language: Inglés.
Pompeii is one of the most significant archaeological sites in the world. Founded in the 7th century BC, Pompeii was a thriving city teeming with commercial and cultural activities. It flourished until its tragic demise in 79 AD, when a catastrophic volcanic eruption buried it under a thick layer of ash and pumice, preserving its wonders for centuries. Among its many remarkable structures, the House of the Faun stands out as an extraordinary example of Roman architecture. This grand residence not only reflects the status of the family who lived there but also serves as a vital symbol of Pompeii’s rich cultural life.
11:30. The forgotten archaeology. Aigües Baixes. A razed iberian fortress. Production: Yaq Distribución. Direction: Santiago Secades Direction: Dave Castaño. España, 2024, 20 minutos. Language: Castellano.
In 2013, some committed archaeologists, with hardly any resources, began authorized excavations to recover the Iberian fort of Aigües Baixes, on a privately owned plot of land, in the municipality of El Campello (Alicante). A year later, after the archaeological work of the first campaign and the beginning of the procedures to declare it B.I.C. (Asset of Cultural Interest), a large part of its structure recovered by archaeologists is razed by an “unexpected” and “invisible” excavating machine. This is the story of a construction built 2,500 years ago, where human action illegally attempted to return it to oblivion.
11:50. Abiseo. The cultural forest of Chachapoya. Production: World Monuments Fund Peru. Direction: Rosemarie Lerner. Perú, 2025, 21 minutos. Language: Español.
Deep in Peru’s Río Abiseo National Park, a UNESCO Mixed World Heritage Site, an interdisciplinary team of scientists and conservationists sets out on a unique journey to investigate, document and protect the Gran Pajatén archaeological complex, the cultural legacy of the ancient Chachapoya civilisation. This film documents their efforts to preserve the site and the challenges of working in one of the most remote and environmentally endangered places on the planet.
17:00. OFFICIAL SECTION HISTORY PILLS. CC AMAIA KZ Auditorium. Irun
Presentation and discussion led by doctor Xabier Peñalver
17:00. The mystery of desert kites. Direction: Nathalie Laville. Arabia Saudí, Jordania, Francia, Alemania, 2025, 54 minutos. Language: Inglés.
In northern Saudi Arabia and southern Jordan, there are thousands of mysterious geometric structures, the shape of which, when seen from the sky, are reminiscent of huge kites. The
most ancient of these gigantic stone alignments were created in around 7000 BC. This makes them some of the oldest structures in human history, more than 4000 years older than the
pyramids of Egypt and the spectacular stone alignments of Stonehenge. Who build them ? And why ? Using the most up to date technology available and committed to shed new light on
this little known period of the neolithic, an international team of archaeologists is attempting to solve the enigma.
19:00. OFFICIAL SECTION. CC AMAIA KZ Auditorium. Irun
19:00. Tautavel. Living in Europe before Neanderthal. Production: Tangerine Productions. Direction: Emma Baus. Francia, 2024, 90 minutos. Language: Francés.
Long before the arrival of Homo sapiens or even Neanderthals, other humans inhabited French territory during intense periods of glaciation. One place in particular has witnessed their passage: the Tautavel cave in France, at the foot of the Pyrenees mountain range. How did these ancient humans survive in such a harsh environment? Based on the latest scientific discoveries, the film changes the way we look at these distant ancestors, whose cognitive abilities never cease to amaze us.
19:55. Campo della Fiera and the well of time. Production: Maria Teresa Pilloni. Production: Mario Mazzoli. Direction: Dalessandro, Massimo. Italia, 2025, 50 minutos. Language: Italiano.
In the heart of central Italy, at the foot of the cliff of Orvieto, lies Campo della Fiera, an extraordinary place where sacredness and history have been intertwined for over two thousand years.
Identified as the site of the legendary Fanum Voltumnae, a federal sanctuary of the Etruscans. The site then saw the passage of different eras, becoming a spiritual and administrative centre
of the Romans and later a Franciscan settlement. Archaeological investigations conducted over the last twenty years have brought to light artefacts of inestimable value: ancient temples, mosaics, precious ceramics and a deep well that has never been explored, guardian of forgotten treasures. Through historical reconstructions, exclusive interviews and spectacular
filming, ‘Campo della Fiera and the Well of Time’ takes the audience on a fascinating journey to discover the life, decline and rebirth of this unique site. One of the artefacts found in the
well also opens a crack in the veil of mystery surrounding the Templars and a possible historical intrigue.

This grand residence not only reflects the status of the family who lived there but also serves as a vital symbol of Pompeii’s rich cultural life.
11:20. Anatomy of a kiln. Direction: Pilar Abades Direction: Sabela Iglesias Direction: Adriana P. Villanueva. España, 2024, 30 Minutos. Language: Gallego.
The past and the present intertwine through a fragile thread: memory, also preserved in inert materials where the traces of history endure. Anatomy of a Kiln delves into the Iron Age to
explore, through experimental archaeology, the ceramic kiln of Castromao (Galicia). The analysis of materials allows us to better understand past processes but also reminds us that, like memory, the anatomy of objects always holds unknowns.
11:50. Archaeology for flying children. Production: Cecilia Caniuman Ancalef. Direction: Felipe Cona Aracena. Chile, 2024, 23 minutos. Language: Español.
The children from the Alihuén Rural School in Challupen, along with their teachers and guardians, travel to Santiago, the capital of Chile, to see the Metawes—millennia-old pottery
pieces—that were looted from their ancestors’ cemeteries. For many of them, this is their first trip to the city, making it a significant event for both the children and their families.
This narrative of a journey reveals the contradictions between historical preservation and the extraction of resources from communities and their ways of life. It is a manifestation of
centralism and, at the same time, a gesture of reconnection for the new generations with their recent past.

17:00. Balchiria mystery. Production: Passé Simple. Direction: Azéma, Marc. Francia, 2025, 52 Minutos. Language: Francés.
Three thousand years before Stonehenge and the sculpted menhirs of Filitosa were created, an enigmatic figure was carved on a stela in Balchiria, southern Corsica, where it recently
resurfaced. Is it a god or a demon? A warrior or a sorcerer? What was its function? Embark on this archaeological expedition that will take us from the excavations of Balchiria, by way of Greece, Spain and Sardinia, to the far corners of the Mediterranean. This voyage into the past will track the mysterious sculpture on the different stages of its long journey

19:00. Ramesseum 2023: a temple and its necropolis. 34th archaeological campaign. Production: ASC distribution. Direction: Pascal Pelletier. Francia, 2024, 90 minutos. Language: Francés.
This report on the latest 34th Ramesseum archaeological mission in Luxor, Egypt, invites viewers to fully immerse themselves in a dig. From the excavation of a burial shaft to the extraction of the courtyard of a Middle Empire tomb, this documentary reveals in detail the daily activities of an archaeological campaign.

Discover the traces of the Tartessians and the marks they left in the southwest of the Iberian peninsula. Dating back to the 9th century BC, this mysterious pre-Roman civilisation adopted a fusion of Phoenician culture and that of the indigenous populations who lived on the banks of the Guadalquivir. They may even have extended to Portugal, although in recent years research has focused on another area: the Middle Guadiana Valley. Several sites in Extremadura are yielding valuable information about this lost culture and revealing the extent of its architecture, goldsmithing, commercial exchanges, religious beliefs and incipient writing system.

18:00. Vitrum. Roman Glass revolution. Direction: Marcello Adamo. Italia, 2025, 52 Minutos. Language: Italiano.
In 2013, Italian engineer Guido Gay discovered an ancient shipwreck between Corsica and Italy at a depth of 360 meters. While the cargo was initially thought to be ballast stone, it soon became clear that the ship was delivering tonnes of glass in varying degrees of workmanship. This remarkable discovery, the second of its kind, prompts the formation of a Franco-Italian archaeological team to investigate the wreck’s cargo, now known as the Capo Corso 2, onboard the Alfred Merlin. This film explores the significance of glass in Ancient Rome through the team’s deep-sea archaeological research, and how the development and dissemination of glassmaking methods changed human civilisation forever.
19:00. Shipwrecks, divers and frogmen. Production: Pau Castellvi Rubinat. Direction: Josep Maria Castellví Viladegut. España, 2025, 72 minutos. Language: Castellano.
In the 1950s, scrap metal in Spain was in short supply, so metal from the shipwrecks near the coast acquired an unexpected monetary value. Objects we now think of as archaeological
artefacts were at the time the resources upon which many families and businesses depended. The Ebro Sea became a hub for this underwater business. Along came dry suit divers and scuba divers or frogmen, attracted by the job opportunities. Their stories have become inseparable from the fascinating accounts of the ships they dismantled. Who were the people who risked their lives to recover rusty remains from the depths? And what did they find at the bottom of the sea?

19:00. Mountains with memory. Production: Instituto Catalán de Arqueología Clásica. Production: Cooperativa Bitlab cultural. Direction: Josep M. Palet Direction: Marta Flórez. España, 2025, 16 minutos. Language: Castellano.
This documentary describes the archaeological dig carried out by the Research Group on Landscape Archaeology (GIAP) of the Catalan Institute of Classical Archaeology in the Eastern Pyrenees. We are invited to witness the day-to-day activities at the Coll de Morelles site (Meranges), the highest Roman site excavated in Spain and the Mediterranean, and learn about
a rare archaeological discipline: high-mountain archaeology
19:15. Army of lovers. Production: Anemon Productions. Direction: Lefteros Charitos. Grecia, 2025, 86 minutos. Language: Inglés.
Army of Lovers tells the untold epic saga of the Sacred Band, an elite force of 150 pairs of male lovers who became the most formidable warriors of the ancient world. This Greek army was
formed by the city of Thebes in 379 BCE to end Spartan domination. Fighting for four decades undefeated, it was annihilated by the forces of Philip II of Macedon and his son Alexander
in the Battle of Chaeronea. Buried on the battlefield where they fell, the 300 were forgotten by history, until a Greek archaeologist discovered the mass grave in 1880. The discovery was never made public and the grave was covered up, leading some historians to claim that the Sacred Band never existed.
It was only in 2019 that a missing skeleton was found in the basement of the Athens Archaeological Museum, as well as the excavation logs with detailed drawings of the mass grave: it
depicted an army of 300 men lying in pairs, their arms linked together. A team of international archaeologists and historians is re-examining the newly uncovered evidence, gaining unprecedented insight into the story of the Sacred Band.
Their findings challenge us to rethink our understanding of Ancient Greece and our perceptions of heroism and masculinity across time.

In Siponto, among dust, tools and focused gazes, a day of excavation becomes the occasion to tell not only the story of an archaeological site, but of a profession. “ Field Diary. Archaeologists in Siponto” is an observational documentary that closely follows the daily work of archaeologists, highlighting their effort, precision, care, and the ordinary humanity behind the act of bringing history back to light. Through the site’s story, the film reveals the t rue nature of archaeological work, while e mphasizing t he v alue o f p ublic a rchaeology as a civic practice and a means of dialogue with the territory. With no voiceover or mediation, the film unfolds in the real time of a working day, listening to gestures, observing the bond between people and land, between science and community. A silent narrative, yet full of meaning.

In 1994, during archaeological excavations in Temple XIII of the ancient Mexican city of Palenque, a team of scientists and other specialists made an exceptional discovery: the burial chamber of a woman, coated with bright red cinnabar powder and containing all the attributes of a royal tomb. She was named the Red Queen by the lead archaeologist of the excavations, Arnoldo González Cruz. Further investigations suggest that she was Tz’ak-b’u Ajaw, the consort of the young king K’inich Janahb Pakal, under whose rule Palenque established itself as the indisputable powerhouse of the western Maya Lowlands.
