Abstract

This article is interested in the thematic role played by the forest motif in Basque and Galician cinematography. To do this, he focuses on a select bunch of contemporary films (from Tasio and Akelarre, both 1984 productions, to Amama and O que arde, which emerged in recent years) in order to first elucidate the meaning that the forest and the tree acquire in each one of them, and then propose a comparative study on the way in which this select film corpus updates the symbolic heritage that the forest motif accredits in the traditional imaginary of those latitudes.
