Ermua, Bizkaia.  Topagunea, the federation of Basque language associations, will begin this year’s tour of audiovisuals in Basque, Laburbira, with its first screening taking place at the Antzoki in Ermua.  This will be followed by 25 more stops in the Basque Country and three more in the Diaspora. 

Topagunea has worked hard, once again, to make contacts with Basque clubs all over the world in order to bring its works to Basques that live outside of Euskal Herria.  In addition to the clubs that will host events, there are several more who have shown interest even though in the end it didn’t work out as explained to EuskalKultura.com by Manuel Moreno, from Topagunea.  “Izaskun Kortazar, NABO’s Euskera coordinator, wrote us from the US, for example, but they would need English subtitles and so we’ve kept them on the list for next year,” Moreno said.

The first screening in the Diaspora this year will be in Madrid on March 7th at the Basque club at 20:00. Afterwards the tour will continue on to London on March 9th at the Hanbury Hall of London’s Basque Society at 18:30.  Finally, Laburbira will be at Paris’s Basque club on March 14th thanks to the Euskera Sustraiak-Erroak group at 20:30.
