Jo ta ke (Non Stop)

Starting with the recording of a concert, this film takes the viewer on a journey into the Basque Country’s tattered past while focusing on contemporary landscapes. Exploring the space between the unspoken and the unspeakable, Aitziber Olaskoaga encounters repressed images and places – fallow land that cannot be found on any map. Her attempts at conversation are rebuffed and she is met by stony silence as she winds her way through Basque Country to Castilla–La Mancha, where Spain’s first high-security prison was built. The question remains: How can we shine the spotlight on history if we are denied its images?
