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).
After seventeen years in the making, Hans Petter Moland finally unveils his adaptation of Knut Hamsun’s "Growth of the Soil". Herbert Nordrum embodies Isak, a lone soul who builds a life from the wilderness, until Inger (Asta Kamma August) steps into his world. Together, they create a home and a future, but money, ambition and the outside world soon challenge their fragile balance. This is a sweeping tale of love, endurance, and transformation, where nature gives generously but demands even more.
