Ikusmira berriak (2015)

Ikusmira berriak is a new programme of support to audiovisual projects committed to innovation and experimentation in areas of both cinematic language and means of production. The initiative is the result of collaboration between Tabakalera – International Contemporary Culture Centre, Donostia Zinemaldia / San Sebastian Festival, San Sebastian European Capital of Culture 2016, Donostia Kultura and the Filmoteca Vasca Foundation. Its main objective is to promote audiovisual creation.

The Ikusmira berriak programme is articulated around three axes: training, production and exhibition. The programme focusses on national and international initiatives connected to the region, such as the Kimuak short film selection, the annual Lab screenings (the Clermont-Ferrand Festival selection of experimental short films), and the International Film Students Meeting – EIECINE – held yearly during the San Sebastian Festival. It also aims to reach new filmmakers and innovative audiovisual projects based in the Basque Country.

Thus, Ikusmira berriak opens a call inviting all filmmakers participating in the said initiatives and filmmakers in the Basque Autonomous Community to present new projects. The selected projects, one for each of the four groups mentioned, can develop their idea during a 4-week residency in the Tabakalera installations.
