BLACK IS BELTZA II: AINHOA
In the late 1980s, the young Ainhoa travelled to the Basque Country, Lebanon and the Middle East, where she witnessed social oppression at first hand. The sequel to "Black is Beltza" again paints an unembellished portrait of the political power struggles of its time.
At the end of the 1980s, Ainhoa, born in Bolivia and raised in Cuba, decides to visit her father’s birthplace in the Basque Country. There she befriends sympathisers of the separatist movement ETA, who introduce her to their everyday life in the region. In order to better understand the global political context and get to the bottom of her family history, Ainhoa travels on to Beirut and Kabul, together with the Basque journalist Josune. On her way, she not only witnesses war and oppression, but also gets caught in the middle of the fronts of the international heroin trade.
In his film debut “Black is Beltza”, screened at Fantoche in 2019, Basque musician Fermin Muguruza captured the revolutionary sentiment of the 1960s through the eyes of the protagonist Manex. In this sequel, which focuses on Manex’s daughter Ainhoa, he examines the turbulent final years of the Cold War. Once again, Muguruza weaves the complex geopolitical situation into an ambitious thriller that excels – especially musically. With a mixture of punk, ska and folk songs, he revives the protest movements of the time and spans an arc that reaches forward to current world events. (Mischa Haberthür)
