Ander eta Yul
Kinemathek – Hall
Ander returns to his parents’ home after spending several years in prison for drug trafficking, only to find that his family no longer exists. Everything has changed for him, even the landscape he used to know. He reencounters Yul, a former seminary companion. Both the story and history of ‘Ander & Yul’ are punctuated by jeopardy. Ander and Yul put their existences on the line by drug dealing and joining the ETA Basque terrorist organization respectively. Managing these risks leaves no room for nuance or doubt. Filmmaker Ana Díez dared to address a highly sensitive topic during ETA’s most violent phase, leading to rejected filming requests and boycotts. Last but not least, with her fiction feature debut, Díez ventured into a male-dominated industry devoid of female reference points.

Restoration Information
This is the international premiere of the restored version. The 4K restoration was undertaken in 2026 at L’Immagine Ritrovata Laboratory from the original negative, supervised by director Ana Díez and cinematographer Gonzalo F. Berridi. It was funded by the Basque public broadcaster Euskal Irrati Telebista (EITB) and the Euskadiko Filmategia Fundazioa (the Basque Film Archive), under the auspices of the Basque government.
Silvia Casagrande
graduated in 2010 with a degree in film studies from the University of Udine in Italy before undertaking an internship at the Austrian Film Museum in Vienna. In 2011, she moved to Spain where she has worked with various institutions, including setting up the Filmoteca de Navarra archive in Pamplona and lecturing at the Elías Querejeta Zine Eskola (EQZE) in Donostia/San Sebastián. In 2017, she joined the Basque Film Archive in Donostia/San Sebastián where she currently oversees the audiovisual collection and works as a project manager.
Ana Díez
was born in 1957 in Tudela, Spain. After graduating in medicine, she moved to Mexico and pivoted to filmmaking. She returned to Spain to work as an assistant director until 1988, when she directed her first feature film, ‘Ander eta Yul’ (1988), which won the Goya Award for Best New Director. She later transitioned into television directing and taught at film schools. In 1997, she made the feature film ‘Todo está oscuro’ (1997). In 2002, she premiered the documentary ‘Galíndez’ at San Sebastián; she returned to fiction with ‘Paisito’ in 2008 and ‘A quien cierra los ojos’ in 2022.

About Film Restored
In 2026, the Deutsche Kinemathek’s film heritage festival explores risk in cinema. We are examining the perils facing film producers and distributors; looking at the challenges encountered in archives and during restoration work; and showing films about characters who have everything at stake. These are layers of risk that often overlap and are mutually reinforcing.
