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, the competitive section for short films directed by film school students from all over the world, has turned 20. For this reason, the San Sebastian Festival gathered four former students in the Tabakalera cinema during its 69th edition. Moderated by Víctor Iriarte, Kiro Russo, Inês de Lima, Mina Fitzpatrick and Óscar Vincentelli talked about their experiences at Nest and their participation in projects such as Ikusmira Berriak and Elías Querejeta Zine Eskola, as well as their upcoming projects.
