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).
Nest Film Students gathers students from film schools all over the world to attend screenings of their previously selected short films, discussions and master classes given by industry professionals. The selected short films will be screened at showings open to the general public and a competition between the short films presented at the meeting will also be called. Here, a student jury, chaired by a prestigious filmmaker, will choose the winner and will give the ‘Nest Film Students Best Short Film Award’, sponsored by Orona Fundazioa.
Nest Film Students is jointly organized by the Festival and Tabakalera-International Centre for Contemporary Culture and is part of the San Sebastian 2016 European Capital of Culture legacy.
