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).
As if moved by the wind and chance, the bell of the hermitage of San Pelayo begins to ring insistently. This hermitage stands in the center of a wide valley. Attracted by the rhythmic and continuous ringing of the bell, the santero arrives and finds that it rings by itself. From the river that is born in that same place the water flows stained with blood.
According to an ancient tradition, these are signs through which the saint in whose evocation the hermitage is raised asks to come and tell stories, through them to ward off a danger that threatens the region.
The santero summons several local people, who, gathered for a whole night around the fire in the hermitage, tell stories about San Pelayo.
