Synopsis

On the coast of the Basque Country a group of women do weaving. They say it is like a dance they do "until they lose track of time", "until their hands turn to salt". At times, the nets look like an extension of their body, like the black hair that one of them has. In the sonorous work that accompanies this maritime dance and poetic editing, we learn about the work of a group of weavers who continue to doing their traditional labor at a time when mechanical work seems to prevalent everywhere.

Director biography

Joana Moya
Joana Moya

Joana Moya (Bilbao, 1985) studied geology and contemporary dance in the Basque Country of Spain. Since 2010 she has been working in the audio visual industry, drawing on her earlier disciplines for inspiration. In the short film Todo lo cubre la sal she utilises poetic language to provide a portrait of the women who weave the fishing nets on the Basque coast. Inspired by her work in geology, her first feature film The Koreana, a Story of Ferromagnetism, Light and Memory, is a project in development selected by the Matadero Residence Centre with Cineteca, Noka Mentoring (Tabakalera) and Dirdira Lab.
