Summary

At the beginning of the year 2000, coinciding with the premiere performance of Yoyes, the topic of ETA in cinema occupied once again the pages of various Basque and Spanish media. The intention of this article is to review the history of modern Basque cinema briefly analysing the various occasions in which the cinema of the Basque Country has taken ETA to the screens and the consequences that this decision has generated. The adverse reactions,from all sides,that such artistic proposals have raised,denote a worrying state of freedom of expression in our society and reveal the difficulties that Basque filmmakers have when dealing with contemporary Basque history.
