Abstract

The purpose of this article is to map the figure and work of Jon Villelabeitia, a filmmaker whose name has been absent in studies about Basque cinema. Villelabeitia was a pioneer of cinema in Argentine Patagonia, with a career spanning an extensive documentary work from the 60s to the 90s. The present study, wich is a result of a long work of film archeology, proposes a historical analysis of his work, contextualizing and comparing it with the experience of other Basques who have made films in the Americas.
