Some of those films are "El ciego" (1976), "El jueves pasado" (1977) and "Fideos" (1979.) Wanting to know more about the darkest corners of the human mind, Medem studied psychiatry.

Medem worked as assistant, editor and screenwriter in differents projects for cinema and TV. He also wrote several screenplays, but they were all refused by most of production companies in Spain. Finally, in 1991, Medem received a call from a new production company called SOGETEL. They were interested in his script titled "Vacas," about the fight between two families during three generations, from 1875 until 1936. Medem directed the film for SOGETEL and it was released in 1992. "Vacas" was brilliantly received and became a big success. It won the Goya Award from the Spanish academy for best new director, and won prizes in the festivals of Tokyo, Torino and Alexandria. In 1993 Medem made his second movie, "La ardilla roja." "La ardilla roja" confirmed Medem's talents and won prizes in Fort Lauderdale, Bogota and Bucarest. His third movie, "Tierra," released in 1996, was selected for the Cannes Film Festival.

Mariano Eusebio González García, a.k.a Luis Mariano, was a famous tenor of Spanish-Basque origin who is remembered, especially in France, as "the king of the operetta." Born in Irún, he showed from an early age the signs of a multi-talented personality. By the time he was 12 years old, he could sing, draw and write stories with incredible virtuosity. When both his house and his hometown were destroyed during the Spanish Civil War, Mariano fled to France and settled in Bordeaux where he even had to work on the fields to support himself and his education. He enrolled there at the Fine Arts Institute choosing Architecture as his major. After graduation, he decided that singing was his true vocation and for the next two years he attended the prestigious Conservatory of Music. His professional debut as a tenor came in 1943 when he sang the part of Ernesto in Donizetti's comic opera "Don Pasquale" at the Palais de Chatillot, receiving enthusiastic reviews. In 1945 he moved to Paris where he met Francis López, a French composer of Spanish ancestry who specialized in colorful operettas with Spanish themes. López talked Mariano into trying this popular musical genre and within a year, both the vocalist and the composer, had achieved a great success with "La Belle de Cadix." The operetta was recorded and one of the songs, "María Luisa" became a radio hit for Luis Mariano making him a pop sensation in France and Spain. From then on it was continued success for the singer who starred in many other operettas by López and recorded dozens of highly popular tunes. Soon the movie industry came calling and he was featured in several films with notable box office results. Some of the productions were filmed versions of his stage hits allowing his good looks and golden voice to reach a worldwide audience.
By 1952 and with the box office success of his film "Violetas Imperiales," Luis Mariano had become and international idol and for many years, combined his stage, film and recording activities in Europe with personal appearances all over the world. By the 1960s, with the rock British invasion and the demise of the operetta, Luis Mariano's stage work became less frequent. However he continued recording and was often seen on television and live concerts. In 1967 Luis Mariano and Francis López united again and surprised everybody with "Le Prince de Madrid," an old style operetta which ran in a Paris theater for two years. It was like the good old days all over again and in December 1969 they opened with "La Caravelle d'Or" expecting similar results. However a few weeks after the debut, Luis Mariano became ill and had to abandon the production. He was diagnosed with viral hepatitis and after a long fight with the disease he died in July 1970. During his extraordinary career, Luis Mariano received most of the awards and accolades granted by the entertainment industry. He was also officially recognized with France's Legion of Honor Medal and Spain's Order of Queen Isabella The Catholic. His films and recording are still widely distributed on CDs and DVDs while in his hometown a park was named after him with a sculpture of the singer ensuring his everlasting presence.- Kandido Uranga was born on 27 May 1955 in Zumaia, Guipúzcoa, País Vasco, Spain.

Spanish director, author of great success TV series and several award-winning films. His father, a staff chief in a local tyre factory, was shot by the anarchists in the Spanish Civil War when he was only 6 months old. His mother wanted him to study Law, and that's what he did. He starting studying at the University of Valladolid, but that wasn't his real vocation, which was, as he himself says, 'to tell stories'. Every summer he used to go back to Lasarte, his home village, and make festivals, sketches and parodies. Once he finished his Law studies, in 1959, he decided to enter the Escuela Oficial de Cinematografía, where he made four short films: 'La oveja negra', 'Pis', 'La muerta' and Trotín Troteras (1962). In 1962, after finishing his cinematographic studies, he directed his first work as a professional, _Lección de arte (1961)_, and it won the Golden Seashell at the Festival of San Sebastián. His first attempt to make a feature film ('Está lloviendo y te quiero', about his childhood at the Basque Country which also touched on the Basque problems) failed due to the refusal of the Basque producers, and so he continued directing short films: 'La balada de los cuatro jinetes', 'Universidad de Navarra', 'Un pueblo en apuros', 'Adiós al Price'.
In 1970 he started working for TV. He directed several documentaries and some chapters for the series Crónicas de un pueblo (1971) (a great success in Spain despite its deep ideological content, risky for the period it was made in) and, La cabina (1972), which won 10 national and international awards, including the Emmy Award in 1973. Then he made Los pajaritos (1974), Don Juan (1974) (which won an award at the Festival of Montreux), La Gioconda está triste (1977), the series Este señor de negro (1975), La noche del licenciado (1979), and his two biggest successes: Verano azul (1981) (which became a social phenomenon) and Farmacia de guardia (1991).
His film La hora de los valientes (1998) was defined by himself as a 'realistic tragicomedy, a romantic history, a historic fresco and a sociopolitical fable'. His last works in cinema were Planta 4ª (2003), a film about children with cancer treated with a touch of humor, and ¿Y tú quién eres? (2007), a drama about a grandfather with Alzheimer.- Actor
