Starting in the month of April, The Filmoteca inaugurates a new line of programming dedicated to Valencian cinema. With an approximate monthly frequency, we will program feature films that are part of the collections of our film archive, prioritizing titles that have received public aid for production by the IVC or the institutions that preceded it, Since the years 80, in the granting of these subsidies. Tramuntana is scheduled for the first installment, by Carlos Pérez Ferré, a historical fiction that proposes an approach to a foundational stage as emblematic for the Valencian people as the conquest of Valencia. constitute, in that sense, one of the few attempts to connect cinema with a culture and historical reality of its own, in addition to the greatest production effort made to date in the context of the Valencian audiovisual sector. The movie, starring Jorge Sanz and Emma Suárez, narrates the adventures of some farmers from the Lleida Pyrenees who decide to come down to populate the promising Valencian lands, just conquered to the Muslims by King James I.

In the thirteenth century, desolation and misery lead the inhabitants of a village in the Pyrenees to migrate in search of better lands to the south, in Valencian territory, considered a kind of Promised Land that they are not even sure exists. During the trip, love, hatred and suffering endanger the arrival at such a longed-for destination. At the same time, they see themselves embroiled in the war that King Jaume I has used to reconquer these lands held by the Muslims. The journey becomes an odyssey.
