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).

Heredero is researching the relationship between the Festival and the New Spanish Cinema of the 1960s, Fernández is studying the historical presence of animated films at the Festival and García López is focusing on the influence of the International Film Schools Conference on events such as May ‘68.
