Throughout history, the LGBTQIA+ community has faced a continuous struggle for recognition and equitable treatment. In official archives, their narratives have often been omitted or ignored, hindering access and connection between different generations within the community. "Memorias Sinvergüenzas: Reclaiming Our Queer Memory" offered a valuable opportunity to creatively reconnect with local queer history and shed light on this marginalized past.
"Memorias Sinvergüenzas" was a short film creation workshop organized by Tabakalera's audiovisual laboratory in collaboration with Elias Querejeta Zine Eskola and with support from the Basque Film Archive. Over two weeks, participants in “Memorias Sinvergüenzas: Creation Workshop | Reclaiming Our Queer Memory” edited their short films at Tabakalera's audiovisual laboratory facilities. Daily events included presentations, talks, screenings, excursions, and mentoring sessions aimed at building bridges between the historical queer memory of the Basque Country and younger generations of the LGBTQIA+ community.
The workshop was part of a master's final project in Film and Audiovisual Curation at Elias Querejeta Zine Eskola, led by Alejo Duclós. It was coordinated by Alejo Duclós, Isaac Tejedor Martín, and Luiza Rosado.
These short films premiered in September 2025 as part of the Ibero-American LGBTQIA+ Festivals Meeting during the 25th Sebastiane Award by Gehitu, within the Industry Area of the San Sebastián Film Festival.

* Trigger warning:
This year, we want to give more than just a trigger warning - we want to create a space in which feelings can be captured. For films with trigger warnings, a contact person will be on site to accompany you during and after the film. They will be located near the back door of the Werkstattkino cinema and can accompany and support you outside if you wish.
Zoe is taking on this role this year.
