As part of the ZINEBI 68 program, running from November 20-27, the ZINEBI Animation Lab will provide a space for animation project development, gathering filmmakers, creators, and audiovisual industry professionals from November 25-27.
The call for entries will select up to eight projects, four from the Basque Country and four from the rest of Spain, encompassing short films, features, and animated series. Participants will engage in three days of training, personalized advice, and professional networking within the lab coordinated by Pedro Rivero.
Selected projects will receive individual tutoring sessions focusing on scriptwriting, artistic direction, production, and development strategies. Two development grants of 3,000 euros each will be awarded, with the winning projects announced on November 27, coinciding with the lab's final day and the closing of ZINEBI 68.
The ZINEBI Animation Lab, in its second edition, builds upon last year's successful experience, which saw seven projects chosen from 49 applications. The festival strengthens its support for audiovisual creation through ZINEBI Networking and this year adds GazteDoku, a new initiative aimed at young documentary filmmakers.
