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).

“Ainara Gurrutxaga gives a superb performance.”
Urtzi Urkizu, BERRIA
“A wonderful film (…) and the scenes of the past are exquisite.”
Beñat Eizagirre Indo, BERRIA
“Magnificent performance from María Renée Prudencio, whose emotions dominate the screen, and just as impressive is the way the young Lucio Giménez Cacho conveys his feelings first to his mother and then to everyone else.”
Oti Rodríguez, ABC
“A subtle portrait of the relationship between a single mother and her son.”
Teresa Flaño, EL DIARIO VASCO
“Serenly dominates space and time, describing a triangular relationship in which nothing is missing and nothing is superfluous.”
Mikel Insausti, GARA
“Drew as much laughter during the screening as applause at the end.”
C. David Carrón, LA RAZÓN
“Here is an excellent and very shrewd observer of reality. Fernando Eimbcke’s technique and capacity to convey feelings are exremely promising (…). Not a single second is gratuitous. Nothing is out of place and nothing is missing in this summer tale.”
Juan Zapater, NOTÍCIAS DE GIPUZKOA
“The film is thrilling on screen and perfect in its conception. One of the best Spanish movies of the year? In a word, yes. Unambitious but totally charming, entertaining, heart-warming, aesthetically pleasing, authentic and, please (please!) worthy of the fiercest defence.”
Víctor EsquiroI, GARA
“Explosive thriller-meets-drama admirably orchestrated by Chinese filmmaker Jia Zhangke.”
Koldo Landaluze, GARA
“A harsh, cruel but spectacular film. One of those that leaves you gaping and builds up a sense of intense expectation right from the start.”
Beñat Eizagirre Indo, BERRIA
