description Cinema has contributed to shape and spread Basque stereotypes, reiterating patterns forged in the 19th century, throughout literature, paintings, plays, newspapers, etc. In this paper we analyse the representation of Basque stereotypes in documentary films until 1968. In these documentaries, the Basque Country was identified with its Atlantic area, focusing on the coast and the rural world. According to these films, the Basques are a people of obscure origins and ancestral habits, linked to their traditions and fond of their freedom. These stereotypes are visually represented through mountainous landscapes, dances, the pelota, the bravery of the coast, the baserri (typical Basque farm), the oxen and the txapela (beret). In part, those stereotypes are repeated in Post-1968 cinema, although the increasing presence on the screen of political nationalism and of the Basque terrorist organization ETA.
