Montréal and Harstad (Norway), Imaginaire Nord and Arctic Arts Summit, coll. « Isberg » (157 pages)
Project carried out by the International Laboratory for Research on Imaginary of the North, Winter and the Arctic of the University of Quebec in Montreal, this book aims to lay the methodological bases of the multidisciplinary analysis of the imagination of the North as a complex, plurilingual, pluricultural and variable cultural object. The objective is both to “recomplexify” the North and the Arctic, which have been simplified for too long; include the indigenous point of view, which is often overlooked; and to lay the ethical foundations for the study of the North and the Arctic from a cultural point of view.

Documentary film LOST (?) in Iceland (Reykjavík/Buenos Aires, 2013-2014, 35′)
Idea and Direction: Enrique del Acebo Ibáñez / Camera: Enrique del Acebo Ibáñez / Mauricio Casaretto / Photography: Enrique del Acebo Ibáñez / Edition: Miguel González Massenio / FX: Alejandra Esquerro / Music: Dario Ingignoli / Piano performance: Darío Ingignoli
As it is explained at the beginning of the movie, this is a documentary film but also close to an experimental one because the director decided to use a small standard mobile phone’s camera to record and interview as if it were his very first visit to the island (which had been in 2002), although this film was done in 2013-2014. As it is explicitly mentioned in the film, the director’s point of view is emphasized. It was first screened in Reykjavík (IACSI International 2014 Workshop; and in Bíó Paradís 2015).

It was created an evaluation committee coordinated by Walter Koltonski and Enrique del Acebo Ibáñez for both painting and essay contests.
It was organized an international contest addressed to secondary schools from both countries: the call was to write essays and submit paintings about the other culture, that is: the young students had to write essays about the other culture and society and/or paint natural or cultural landscapes. The first stage of this binational project was developed in Argentina, where different paintings and essays were submitted by Argentine High School students of the city of Buenos Aires. The results were printed and a copy was given personally to the Icelandic Ministry of Education, one year after. The prize for the winners was to travel to Iceland and stay in a family house for a week, together with the respective Diploma.
