The Zamora Museum is organizing, in collaboration with the Oiasso Roman Museum in Irún and FICAB, its archaeological film series, which brings together the award-winning documentaries from the latest edition of the Bidasoa International Archaeological Film Festival, held last November.

The cycle, with sessions taking place on Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m., will begin on March 12 with the screening of the documentary that won the Festival's Grand Prize. The French production "Lebanon, the secrets of the kingdom of Byblos" presents the novelties introduced in the research on Byblos, one of the oldest cities of civilization, the recent discovery of a Bronze Age necropolis at this site, and focuses especially on the close relationship it had with Ancient Egypt.

"Jesús Carrera, el rojo de Hondarribia" is an exercise in recovering historical memory and vindicating the figure of the man who became general secretary of the Communist Party of Spain, shot and buried in a mass grave in Alcalá de Henares in 1945. This Spanish production, which will be shown on March 19, won the Special Audience Award.

Finally, on March 26th, the event will end with a double screening. "Immersing ourselves in the History of the Aegean", winner of the Educational Section Award, brings us closer to an interesting underwater archaeology project that aims, based on the location of ancient shipwrecks, to reconstruct the evolution of maritime trade routes around the Greek island of Kasos. And the new studies carried out on the ancient discovery of a burial site from the Mesolithic period are covered by "The Shaman’s Tomb", winner of the ARKEOLAN Award for scientific dissemination and the EITB Award for gender perspective, which will close the cycle on the same day. Bone remains and some items of grave goods from 9,000 years ago that, distorted in their interpretation by the Nazi regime, were later forgotten and which are now being analysed in the light of new archaeological techniques to bring us closer to a woman recognised for her extraordinary healing powers.

The documentaries will be screened in their original version, with Spanish subtitles if the language is foreign, and attendance will be free until the capacity of the Palacio del Cordón auditorium in Plaza de Santa Lucía is full.
