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).
Glen, a young country bumpkin who dreams of becoming a playwright, has sent his play, along with $1,500, to a skick Broadway producer named Miller. Arriving in New York to learn how his play is progressing, Glen finds Miller holed up in a Manhattan hotel because of a large, unpaid bill, rehearsing another script with a group of hungry actors. A man named Jenkins, representing a mysterious backer, appears with a cheque of $50,000 and a protégé, Miss Abbott, who falls for Glen; but the check is rubber, and Miller and his aids try to get their new musical on the boards before the cheque bounces back from the bank. Miller discovers the young man has a voice that makes women swoon and succeeds in persuading Glen to take over the leading roles in his musical.
