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).
For 25 years in Santimamiñe, in Finaga, in Buzaga and, above all, in Aldaieta, findings have turned up new burial grounds of families of warriors armed with terrible fighting axes and double-edged swords, thereby completely changing everything we thought we knew about those dark years from the fall of the Roman Empire and the time of the Visigoths.
