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).
The director Asier Altuna is really pleased with the final result of his latest film Bertsolari, which aims to give people a better idea of the world of the Bertsolaris, who improvise verses sung in Basque.
This documentary, as Altasuna points out was the result of a feeling he had.“The motive I had for making it was that whenever I went to a Bertsolaris competition I felt an emotion that I wanted to transmit,” he explained.
The film intersperses interviews with various Bertsolaris with the limited amount of documentary material that exists on this subject.
