Abata (2026)
Director: Aner Etxebarria Moral
In 1955, Orson Welles, captivated by the artful practice of netting pigeons with wooden paddles, helmed the documentary *The Land of the Basques*. Now, from a remote mountain shelter straddling the border of Navarre and France, seasoned hunter Gerardo Damboriena shares the ancient secrets of this nearly 700-year-old tradition in his native Basque tongue—a cultural ritual teetering on the brink of disappearance.
