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).
Nicolas Provost has come to the San Sebastián International Film Festival with a dual purpose. On the one hand he is presenting his first feature film, L’envahisseur, in the Zabaltegi section, and on the other hand he will be taking up a post as chairman of the 10th International Film Students Meeting Jury. Born in Belgium he is an audiovisual artist who has made several shorts and mediumlength fictional films, but explains that he is a visual artist rather than a film director. “I don’t see any difference between making a fictional film or a short lasting a minute, I always ask myself the same question about what language I can use to surprise the audience and how can I keep their attention until the end. The only difference is that I have to write a script that lasts longer.”
