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).
Antxon Eceiza was a film critic and an important representative of the New Spanish Cinema movement; he had different responsibilities at the San Sebastian Festival; he produced the documentary series 'Ikuska' and directed, among other films, 'Ke arteko egunak'; he was a pioneer of films made in Basque, director and activist at the same time... But twelve years after his death, the San Sebastian-born filmmaker is still linked to the label of 'cursed' director. Why? In this episode we will try to answer this and other questions with Maialen Beloki, deputy director of the Festival; Irati Crespo, a colleague from the Archive, and researcher and teacher Beñat Sarasola. To do so, they have chosen three objects from Eceiza's personal archive held at the Basque Film Archive.
