Z365" or "Festival all year round" is the new strategic point of the Festival in which converge investigation, accompaniment and development of new talents (Ikusmira Berriak, Nest); training and cinematic knowledge transfer (Elías Querejeta Zine Eskola, Zinemaldia + Plus, Filmmakers' dialogue); and investigation, disclosure and cinematic thought (Z70 project, Thought and Discussion and Research and publications).
The actor Richard Gere will travel to present a special screening of Time Out of Mind, accompanied by the director Oren Moverman, whose film Rampart competed in the Official Selection in 2011. The film, in which Gere plays a homeless man, shows how someone can become invisible. Screening of the film belongs to a more extensive programme, including a press conference with the participation of Gere himself, the patroness of RAIS Foundation, Alejandra Silva, Jordi Albareda from RAIS Basque Country, an organization dedicated to homeless people, and the Mayor of San Sebastian, Eneko Goia.
SINOPSIS
George is a desperate man. With faltering health and nowhere to turn, he finds himself thrust onto New York City’s unforgiving streets. After exhausting all other avenues of temporary housing, he seeks refuge at Bellevue Hospital, Manhattan’s largest intake centre for homeless men. It too proves a harsh and difficult-to-navigate environment, crowded as it is with similarly marginalized souls. But when George befriends a seasoned shelter-dweller named Dixon, he begins to harbour hope of repairing his relationship with his estranged daughter.
