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 season falling within the Klasikoak programme will screen 17 short and mid-length movies together with one feature-length film in five showings at the Elías Querejeta Zine Eskola’s new film theatre in Tabakalera
The restored copy of ‘Tasio’, by Montxo Armendáriz, will open the section on Saturday 21st in the Victoria Eugenia Theatre
The feature film by the director from Navarre has been restored by the L'immagine Ritrovata laboratories in Bologna
The initiative takes the form of a classic film festival that will be extended in time, between April and September, and in space, with screenings in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Bilbao, San Sebastián, Pamplona and Saint-Jean-de-Luz
The section will also feature the premieres of two hitherto unseen films: ‘Festival en las entrañas’, by José Val del Omar, and ‘El realismo socialista / Socialist Realism’, by Raúl Ruiz and Valeria Sarmiento
The Artxiboa website includes a virtual exhibition that reflects Val del Omar's relationship with the Festival through his correspondence
The moviemaker, widow and regular collaborator of the Chilean filmmaker, has rescued, reconstructed and completed this hitherto-unseen film conceived by its author 50 years ago
