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 SGAE (Spanish General Society of Authors and Publishers) Foundation maintains a collaboration with the San Sebastian Festival which involves participation in either the Festival or its own initiatives: providing support to the Made in Spain season, the holding of Authors’ Meetings, accolades such as the SGAE Julio Alejandro Screenplay Award, the Best Basque Screenplay Award and the Dunia Ayaso Award rewarding the focus on gender and co-organisation of the Film Music concerts. These are some of the initiatives for which the SGAE Foundation is grateful for the Festival’s commitment to the architects of cultural creation.
