The Basque Educational Organization in conjunction with the Basque Cultural Center presents The Basque Film Series. The series began in 2004, with the screening of Julio Medem's "La Pelota Vasca", and continues in 2010. Dr. Pedro Oiarzabal, of the University of Nevada at Reno, hosted the series from its inception in 2005 through 2009. The 2010 program will be hosted by Dr. Xabier Irujo and Dr. Santiago De Pablo of the Center for Basque Studies, University of Nevada at Reno. |

The controversy engendered by
Julio Medem's Basque Ball: The Skin Against the Stone is only the latest bout in a struggle to represent and explore Basque identity on film. Early travelogues celebrated a unique landscape and heritage that had bred an indomitable race, and this Romantic notion of a historically, linguistically and culturally isolated nation in mainland Europe, with provinces spilling either side of the Pyrenees, would also charm foreign writers and film-makers such as Orson Welles.
