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).
This year, the 61st edition of the San Sebastian Film Festival presents eight feature films in the Zinemira section, dedicated to cinema produced in the Basque Country. Five premieres and three titles from this year´s production make up the selection.
Four of these premieres will compete for the Irizar Basque Film Award, alongside films with at least 20% of Basque production and others presented as world premieres in any of the Festival sections. The Irizar Award will be decided by a specific jury and carries €20,000 gross for the producer or producers of the winning film.
