Lujan Argentina.   In hopes of “spreading the Basque culture in all its facets: ancestral language, traditions, everyday life, dance, music, sports, inter-family relationships, religion, mythology, work, political-syndicate organization, emigration and Diaspora” and “to reach this knowledge through the dissemination of Basque filmography” the National University in Lujan has organized its first “Cycle of Cultural Appreciation: Basque Film and Culture.”  The event began on August 27th with a presentation on film production in the Basque Country and will conclude on November 19th, after having shown six films that proposed in the program.
