Zabaltegi Special Screenings
This is an informative section which offers a complete overview
of newly released films, since it selects some of the best films
already to have been presented at other international festivals,
within the section named, Festivals' Top, interesting works
by new film-makers and some of the latest works by members of
the official jury.
One of the characteristics of this section is its freedom.
It is free to show films of different formats, lengths, styles
and genres; free to show the most avante garde cinema in every
sense of the expression and to give the most lively and critical
audience the chance to share and interact directly with directors.
Its informal atmosphere and the direct contact between the public
and the people responsible for the films presented attract the
attention of the Festival's younger audiences together with
the most rigorous critics.
