SZ10 celebrates already decade-long Santurtzi Film Festival, and this a celebratory edition with its doses of vindication. Apart from colaboration with local companies and hostelry, as parties and meetings, the four main official sections will define this year's edition. The collaboration with Basque Television EITB means that the Basque film section, Euskal Pantailak, becomes competitive with a Jury made up of Mireia Gabilondo, David Pérez Sañudo and Amaia Remírez, who will award a prize of 1,000 euros to the best Basque short film. For its part, the Official Jury made up of Urko Olazabal, Abril Zamora, Miguel Ángel Jenner, Santiago Requejo and Yune Nogueiras will give the prizes of the two classic sections of the contest, the State Selection and the Santurtzi Selection, with three thousand euros in prizes. Amnesty International is once again participating in the heart of the Festival with Ibiltariak, an itinerant section that this year puts the magnifying glass on freedom of expression and the right to protest. A Youth Jury made up of students from the University of Deusto in Donostia-San Sebastián and Bilbao, as well as from secondary schools in Santurtzi, will award the Ibiltariak Award to the work that most reflects this topic included in article 19 of Human Rights. The Creation Forum will again host a pitching of projects in development, at the Palacio de Oriol of Santurtzi, where a production grant will be awarded. To this area, called Santurtzi Zine Lantegia, a masterclass will be added.

Generic information

Santurzine is an international short and feature film festival that celebrated its first year in 2013. It is a plural event organized by Saregabe.

The Santurtzi Film Festival schedules different activities, including short film screenings, documentaries and feature films, exhibitions, parties, various competitions in parallel, educational programs (such as Santurzine XS, for Primary; and Ibiltariak, for Secondary) and the Closing Gala at the SKA, which includes the awards ceremony.

The greatest strength of the event lies in its horizontal nature, since the characteristic venues of the Santurzine provide a unique meeting point through which authors and the public can relate and interact; with this, the usual professional-spectator barriers are eliminated and the cinema becomes at street level.
