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).
We are in Roissy, Paris. The airport corridor is flooded with an out of season sunlight. The man of the escalator is a Film Director, his name is Bernardo Bertolucci and he is playing his own role. He is about to change continents, destination Hollywood. He is going to direct a film which, as so many others, will not be made. But he doesn't know that, as he doesn't know that America is only a stopover on the way to China. He confronts his past: his childhood near Parma, the 1900 farm, the cheese factories; Paris and the ghosts of Last Tango in Paris. He intermixes his actors with unreal re-encounters. Five years pass. Bertolucci left for hollywood, but landed in Pekin where he will finally start filming -the film will be called The Last Emperor. Le voyageur italien is a mixture of documentary and fiction.
