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).
Against the backdrop of an industrial accident befalling the Sichuan town of Zigong, Ying Liang mixes documentary and fiction to narrate the travails of Xiaofen, a secretary who has to deal with a slacker boyfriend, her mother's eagerness to find her a husband, an uneasy reunion with her long-missing father, the victimization of women in her law firm and an industrialist's ruthless contempt for the welfare of his workers.
