José Antonio Hergueta | Spain | 2024 | 80 min. | Original version in Spanish

The ancient Greeks used the word Tártēssos refer to what they believed was the oldest civilization in the West. Soon, Tartessos would become a myth often linked to Atlantis, and this mythification would give it epic splendor, but it would also erase traces of its historical accuracy. This documentary, directed by José Antonio Hergueta (twice nominated for the Goya Awards and winner of a Carmen Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for Caleta Palace. Revolución y tragedia en la ciudad del paraíso), shows how recent archaeological discoveries have confirmed the existence of Tartessos: a meeting point and fusion between Phoenicians and indigenous people 3,000 years ago, in a civilization on par with the great achievements of the Mediterranean and which spanned centuries, covering at least from Lisbon to Alicante.
