Film premiere Ama Lur at the San Sebastian Film Festival

56
years ago

10 July 1968,

The documentary Ama Lur was premiered at the San Sebastian Film Festival. The authors were Nestor Basterretxea and Fernando Larruquert, who with this feature film intended to create their own cinematographic language based on the roots of Basque culture. They also wanted to strengthen Basque nationalism in full Franco. It was the starting point for contemporary Basque film.
