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 French filmmaker François Ozon, who already competed in the Official Section of the Festival in 2000 with Sous le sable (Under the Sand) and in 2009 with Le refuge, is back with a film about the relationship between a teacher and one of his students, in a clever game in which the lines between reality and fiction become blurred and you cannot tell what dark purposes the youngster is concealing or how far his scheming will go.
