The Last Passage

Iurre Telleria went to London to study film after finishing her Fine Arts studies in Bilbao, specialising in Audiovisuals. After completing her studies she immediately started working as a freelance assistant editor and later editor for ITV, BBC or editing studios, mainly through the agency Soho Editors. During that period she edited pilot for comedy series for BBC or Carlton. Just before returning to the Basque Country she went to Cuba to study film editing at the International Film and Television School. Back in the Basque Country, she started up her own production company that enabled her to begin her career as producer and director, while continuing to work as an editor. As a director she worked on the documentary “The Pamps” for Eitb, together with her colleague Enara Goikoetxea and has been working on the development of the feature documentary “The Last Passage” for the last two years. As an editor she worked on many documentaries and documentary series for EiTB, through Orio Produkzioak. Amongst others she worked in “Europa Euskaraz” (series), “Begia Gose” (series), “Txalaparta, the echo of a people” and many more. On this last work, she also did the archive research. As a producer, she started with the documentaries “Eibarko Armen Museoa” and “Buruntzaldea”. She has also produced several institutional and corporate videos. More ambitious projects were the French-Spanish coproductions “Txalaparta, the echo of a people” and “Des Saumons et des homes”. 

Enara Goikoetxea studied Film in the Surry Institute of Arts and Design (Great Britain). During that period she collaborated in a number of projects as a scriptwriter and editor. Enara started her directing career in commercials and music videos. She previously worked as a film editor in feature films such as “Kutxidazu bidea Ixabel”, “Eutsi!” and “Savage Grace”. Enara’s editing career soon faced the challenge of Julio Modem’s feature documentary La Pelota Vasca: La Piel contra la Piedra and various documentary series. This particular work encouraged her deeply into documentary making. She worked as an assistant director in the documentary Txalaparta, the Echo of a People and co-directed The Pamps.
