INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF DOCUMENTARY AND SHORT FILM OF BILBAO | ZINEBI
It got started in the year 1.959 and organized by the Cultural Department of Bilbao City Hall, ZINEBI celebrates its 64rd edition from the 11th through the 18th of November, 2022.
It is the only international Class A festival in Spain in the documentary and short film category recognized by FIAPF since 1974, recognized by the Hollywood Academy as a qualifier for the Oscars among the short films from the official palmares and qualifier as well by the Spanish Academy for the BAFTA Awards and the GOYA Awards.
ZINEBI is a festival that holds all the most current forms and formats, innovative and suggestive and that is making a steady bet for the emerging authors. The line-up of the international schedule (documentary, animation, and fiction) and its section ZIFF-ZINEBIFIRST FILM, dedicated to first works, are their really distinguishing mark. Honour Mikeldis are also remarkable, which recognize the prestigious career of distinguishing international directors and the strict selections of its sections BEAUTIFUL DOCS, dedicated to the most relevant contemporary features and BERTOKO BEGIRADAK, a section dedicated to the Basque documentary feature films from a recent production. Besides, every year it´s celebrated the professional encounter entitled ZINEBI INDUSTRY- NETWORKING, dedicated to promoting the audiovisual Basque industry.
The dates: November 11-18, 2022.
