The Zamora Museum, in collaboration with the Oiasso Museum and FICAB, is organizing its archaeological film series, which brings together the award-winning documentaries from the last edition of the Bidasoa International Archaeological Film Festival, held last November.

The series, with screenings on Wednesdays at 7:30 pm, will begin on March 4th with the documentary that won the Festival's Grand Prize. The Franco-Chinese production, "The Forgotten City of the Ming Dynasty," rediscovers the splendid imperial complex of Fengyang, commissioned during the last third of the 14th century by Zhu Yuanzhang, founder of the Ming Dynasty, and abandoned without ever being used.

"Off the Archaeological Record" presents, through the testimonies of archaeologists from different generations, the role of women in the development of the discipline in Spain, in an effort to revalue work that has so often been silenced. This Spanish production, which will be shown on March 11, won the EITB Award for Gender Perspective.

"The Mystery of the Desert Kites," the third film in the series, which won the Audience Special Award, will offer on March 18 an approach to some surprising architectural structures, older than the pyramids of Egypt, whose presence is multiplied between northern Saudi Arabia and southern Jordan without their function having been revealed until recently.

Finally, on March 25, the series will conclude with a double feature. "Vitrum. The Glass Revolution in Rome," winner of the ARKEOLAN Award for Scientific Dissemination, explores the production, trade, and uses of glass in Roman times, based on the underwater archaeological recovery of a shipwreck in waters near the island of Corsica. Following this, and to close the series, "Women Archaeologists of Gipuzkoa," winner of the Education Section Award, will highlight the prominent role of women in the development of archaeology in that region.

The documentaries will be screened in their original version, with Spanish subtitles if the language is foreign, and attendance will be free until the capacity of the Palacio del Cordón auditorium in Plaza de Santa Lucía is full.
