On Saturday, October 8, the Club will be showing two Basque films.
“AMAMA” will be presented by the director, Asier Altuna. He will speak about the making of the movie and answer any questions you may have. This film won the Best Basque Film award at last year’s San Sebastian International Film Festival.
The second feature, “The Basques of Santazi,” a film by Sandra Ott, was filmed in the province of Xuberoa. We are hopeful that Sandra will be here as well.
NOKA (and Chino Basque Club members) will be performing at the Culver Center of the Arts at UCR on Thursday, October 13, at 7 p.m. For more information click below:
