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).
What can unfold in five minutes? More than you might imagine, especially when those five minutes keep repeating.
In 5 More Minutes, Javier Ruiz Caldera turns a couple’s crisis into a dizzying time-loop nightmare, blending black humour, fantasy, thriller and existential dread. Written by and starring Berto Romero, alongside Javier Cámara and Belén Cuesta, the film takes a marital spat and launches it into chaos and comedy. The five-minute loops unfold in five-minute sequence shots, demanding razor-sharp choreography from cast and crew. Every movement, entrance and word must hit its mark, making viewers feel every second slipping away.
Romero wrote instinctively, without choosing a genre: if a moment was tragic, it stayed tragic; if funny, funny. Because life has no genre. Neither does this film.
