New Basque Films
The world of Basque cinema continues to grow at a steady rate. There are several Basques films in the making or soon to debut. Here are some of these new productions to check out:
Film: To Say Goodbye
An animated documentary about the 4000 children who were evacuated from Santurtzi after the bombing of Gernika in 1937 during the Spanish Civil War.
Film: Gazta Zati Bat
It presents the Basque conflict in a new/ innovative way: it gives us a closed idea of the big facts, it tells us the story with small print, from the proximity/ closeness, the intimacy and the humor.

The time is come!
Film: Gartxot
A story of a minstrel sent into exile by the new Abbot to capture his only son. The child escapes and sings again beside his father. Their songs become a symbol of the struggle against oppression.
