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 San Sebastian Festival is now receiving online submissions for the preselection of films wishing to participate in its 71st edition. Submissions are invited for all of the sections making up its programme, with the exception of WIP Latam, WIP Europa and Nest, which will have their own specific calls for submission in June. Films for these sections must NOT therefore be submitted at this time.
As in previous years, during the submission process information will be requested regarding the gender identity of those working in the films in the categories of directing, production, screenplay, editing, cinematography, music, sound and, from this year on, art direction.
The deadline for pre-selection submissions is 19 June 2023.
All information on the general terms and conditions of participation, regulations for the different sections and the online form can be found on the Festival website: www.sansebastianfestival.com
