Request QuoteMy name is Javi Julio and I have been working as a photographer and filmmaker for 15 years. I combine photojournalism and television work for international news agencies with commercial work for advertising agencies or institutions in the Basque Country, through my own production company, Kalima Films. Although I also do advertising work, I specialise in documentary work. I have made several short documentaries and in 2021 I released in cinemas all over Spain my first feature-length documentary, called "Aita Mari", about the transformation of an old Basque fishing boat into a rescue boat for an NGO, which I accompanied on its first mission to the central Mediterranean, where they saved the lives of 80 people.
The Stella Maris Berria is a tuna trawler destined for the scrap heap. Two members of an NGO, have an unusual idea: to transform the fishing boat into a rescue ship to save refugees drowning in the Mediterranean Sea. Aita Mari' narrates the odyssey, lasting more than two years, of the ship, from its reconstruction to the completion of the first rescue.
For the last 7 years, I have been a regular contributor working for Anadolu Agency in the Basque Country. I work as a photojournalist and for television, covering news in my area for an international audience, such as demonstrations, the San Sebastian International Film Festival, politics or culture and traditions. This is an example of the last collaboration I have done with them, in this case photographic. In the caption you can see my name and surname: Javi Julio.
