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 San Sebastián Festival and the Tabakalera International Centre for Contemporary Culture will once again create a meeting place for the film community during the event. For the third year running, Keler Topagunea will offer an informal meeting point at which to share experiences, continue earlier conversations, make contacts and end the day with great music in a relaxed atmosphere.
The space, located in the Tabakalera film and audiovisual lab, will open from Monday 21 to Thursday 24 September, from 19:30-23:00. The initiative, sponsored by Keler and with the collaboration of BIME, is intended for filmmakers, film industry professionals, journalists and, in general, all guests accredited at the Festival.

The programme will also have a number of highlights. Monday 21 will be dedicated to Kabia, an event jointly organized by the San Sebastián Festival and Tabakalera that focuses on up-and-coming film talent, although entry will remain open to all accredited guests from 8:00 PM onwards. In addition, on Thursday 24, the Keler Topagunea will host BIME, Ibero-America’s premier music industry gathering. With yearly events in Bilbao and Bogotá, BIME constitutes an international bridge linking Europe and America and a space to anticipate trends, connect leading lights and discover the changes under way in the global music ecosystem.
Music will enliven all evenings at the Keler Topagunea thanks to the collaboration with BIME. Monday the 21st will be DJ Gela’s turn; the 22nd, LaMia Mari; the 23rd, Alai; and Juan Tatorri will provide the finishing touch on the 24th.
Keler Topagunea joins the wide range of meetings and activities accompanying the Festival, with a proposal designed to ensure enjoyment of the event extending beyond the cinemas themselves.
