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).
Film aficionados, journalists and film industry professionals will have the opportunity to listen to the makers, producers, interpreters and writers of films in the New Directors, Horizontes Latinos, Zabaltegi-Tabakalera and Perlak sections, from Saturday 22 until Saturday 29, in the club room of the Victoria Eugenia Theatre.
The Horizontes Breakfasts leave their usual space in the press club and move to the club room of Victoria Eugenia Theatre to make them more open to the city. At the sessions, starting at 11:00 and monitored by the journalist Julio Feo, teams from the productions selected for the Horizontes Latinos section will talk about their films.
At 14:00 it will be the turn of the emblematic TCM Meetings, moderated by the journalist Juan Zavala, at which between four and seven crews from films in the New Directors, Perlak and Zabaltegi-Tabakalera sections will gather. They will also be accompanied by the pianist Juantxo Zeberio.
The Meetings were attended last year, among many others, by the actress Daniela Vega (Una mujer fantástica / A Fantastic Woman, winner of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film of the Year and of the Silver Bear for Best Screenplay), Emma Suárez (Las hijas de Abril / April’s Daughter), the director Gustavo Salmerón and the star of his film, Julita Salmerón (Muchos hijos, un mono y un castillo / Lots of Kids, a Monkey and a Castle), the actor Nahuel Pérez Biscayar (120 battements par minute / 120 BPM), the team of Vergüenza (Juan Cavestany, Alvaro Fernández Armero, Javier Gutiérrez, Vito Sanz and Ana Adams) and of Jusqu’à la garde (Custody): its director, Xavier Legrand, and the actors Léa Drucker, Thomas Goria and Mathilde Auveneux.
Admission is free.
