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).
The company Amenabar, Official Collaborator of the Festival and sponsor of the Movies for Kids section, will sponsor this year’s surprise movie. The screening will take place on Saturday 25th, at 16:00, in the Victoria Eugenia Theatre.
In 2019, the Festival recovered its former tradition of programming a surprise movie. Joker, by Todd Phillips and Sportin’ Life by Abel Ferrara were the films chosen in 2019 and 2020.
Since last year, Amenabar also sponsors the Movies for kids screenings for family audiences. During the Festival weekends, children will enjoy films dubbed into Basque at the Príncipe cinemas. In addition, Amenabar will organise this year a special open-air activity that will be announced a week before the Festival kicks off.
