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).
Beatriz Navas, Rubén Corral and Elsa Estrella Echevarría are the three researchers who have recently benefited from José Ángel Herrero-Velarde grants in their fourth edition, organized by the San Sebastian Festival and Elías Querejeta Zine Eskola (EQZE). For two weeks in July, the three have enjoyed a residency at the Artxiboa facilities, the Festival's historical archive where Navas researched the Festival's contribution to conversations on film policies; Corral analysed institutional relations with other Spanish festivals, and Echevarría explored the programming of films for children curated by Sonika-Bo between 1958 and 1963.
