Based on its historical identity as one of the most important short film competitions in the world, through this award Zinebi aims to continue supporting young producers and authors who want to take their first steps in the world of feature films after working on short films. On the other hand, the audience will have the opportunity, through these very new works, to approach the diversity of trends, styles and arguments of creation that make up the panorama of contemporary cinema.
Thus, in addition to the sections 'Beautiful Docs' dedicated to documentary film and 'Looks of the Place' dedicated to recent Basque production works, Zinebi will add a new dimension of feature films, often difficult to find in large industry and commercial venues, as an important part of the film proposal presented annually by the festival.
In this first edition of the competition, 9 feature films will compete for the Zinebi First Film Award. The production of these films has involved 13 countries: Argentina, Bulgaria, China, Denmark, France, Israel, Lebanon, Qatar, Romania, Tunisia, the United Arab Emirates and Turkey. In these spaces, which are so diverse from the political, social, economic, religious and cultural spheres, the authors of these first works show views full of subjectivity that, in the staging of their cinema, also has special characteristics of style and critical will.
In this selection, the audience will discover the fundamental themes of the vicissitudes that human beings have to live in the contemporary world, such as life in cities, relationship with nature, immigration and its effects on culture, love relations, personal and collective identity, reality and fantasy or new relationships within the family, among others.
Notable among the films selected are Ralitza Petrova’s Godless, winner of the Golden Leopard at the Locarno International Film Festival (Switzerland); Ala Eddine Slim’s Akher Wahed at the Critics’ Week at the Venice International Film Festival, winner of the Luigi de Laurentiis Award, winner of the Leopard of the Future of the Best Opera Prima at the Critics’ Week of the Locarno International Film Festival (Venice); and her fine work at the Locarno. The latter two can be seen inside Zinebi 58 for the first time in the state.
