Glocal Cinema: The Film Loreak as Ambassador of Cinema in the Basque Language
Abstract
This article analyses cinema shot in the Basque language, in the frame of the so-called Small Cinemas, defending filmographies made in European non-hegemonic languages. We focus on a case-study, analysing the film in the Basque Language that had the widest international success in history of Basque cinema: Loreak (by Jose Mari Goenaga and Jon Garaño). The first Basque film to get a nomination for the Academy Awards, Loreak has thus become ambassador of cinema in the Basque language abroad, while reaching international standards of technical and artistic quality.Downloads
