The Idea of North, 2016. Video Colour, 40’.
Directed by Alicia Chillida and Benito Macías Cantón.

The Idea of North is the title of this film that builds on a Basque etnographical landscape portraying Gonzalo Chillida through the criteria and motivations of his view of nature. A voice of reflection turns the artist´s archive (original super8 films and photographs) into the essence and visual vocabulary beyond the limits of his recognized work. The documentary makes use of interviews given by people closely linked to his life and his work and revisits the places where the artist lived and worked. The metaphor of North delves further into a creative process in which paint, photography and film enter to a dialogue.
