José Julián Bakedano

In 2025, the Basque Government, EITB and the Filmoteca Vasca set about recovering and restoring four medium-length films made completely in the Basque language in the mid-80s. The process, long and delicate, included a trip to the L'Immagine Ritrovata lab in Bologna. The documentary, an own production by EITB, follows the peregrination of the four directors and the restoration process completed in Italy. Because it's important to tell these stories too.

The documentary is a kind of master class on the pioneer of Basque-language films and the founder of Lekeitio’s Euskal Zine Bilera. Benito Ansola talks to J. J. Bakedano about the secrets of his major productions. In the space of 20 years he produced some twenty films, including documentaries and fiction shorts.

Short film about Basque artist Jose Mari Uzelai.

‘Nagel’ is the result of the interaction between two creators, Andrés Nagel and José Julián Bakedano, a sculptor and a filmmaker (Azkuna Zentroa).

After the brief photographic preamble, an unstoppable storm of abstract textures in perpetual motion begins, a continuous torrent of organic images, an incessant cascade of expressionist splashes.

Bakedano's experimental approach to the bride of Frankenstein's story.
