Évole criticizes the “noise” generated around the premiere of the documentary about Josu Urrutikoetxea
Euskaraz irakurri: Evolek Josu Urrutikoetxeari buruzko dokumentalaren estreinaldiaren inguruan sortutako “zarata” kritikatu du
Jordi Évoleco-author of the documentary Don’t call me Veal, has criticized the “noise” caused by its premiere at the San Sebastián Film Festival. In the film, which is presented in the Made in Spain section, Évole collects the testimony of Josu Urrutikoetxeaformer member of ETA.
“Today you see surveys that show that young people between 20 and 25 years old do not know who Miguel Ángel Blanco was. It is an anomaly of this country that does not know how to look at its past, even if it hurts.. The story hurts, but we have to decide if we want to be in the part that sings “May you vote Txapote” or in the part of knowing who Txapote was. I know where I want to be,” he assured. In addition, Évole has stated that he is “disappointed” by Urrutikoetxea’s “unconciliatory” language.
The journalist has regretted that “in a festival in which films by people like Fernando Trueba, JA Bayona or Isabel Coixet are presented” it has made so much “noise.” “It was not our intention to arrive with so much expectation,” he stated.
Évole has acknowledged that he was surprised because he did not expect the documentary to “grow as it has”, while confessing that he knew it was a “thorny” issue. “No matter where you take this matter, you always get hurt,” she commented.
“Those who made the statement against the documentary have marked where it would go, the comments on the film. We would have liked a prior viewing,” he indicated.
