All my sarcasm aside, I must say that I agree with you.
At this point in time, I believe it is not only possible
but advantageous that there be a form of Basque cinema which
presents an authentic Euskaldun vision of Euskal Herria in
Spanish and/or French along with an increasing number of movies
in Euskera, of course.
