- This year the debate on the city model will be launched in the framework of the new urban planning initiated by the City Hall. The 14th edition will be held from 15 to 25 September and the organizers recall that the departure of the cinema to the streets of San Sebastian has been a “strategic” decision since the first edition.
14. The program of the Alternative Film Festival has been presented, and once again the organizers have used the 9+5 formula to refer to the young Koroenea, where the audiovisuals were broadcast between 2010 and 2015, until the mayor of San Sebastian, Eneko Goia, was shot down at the beginning of his term of office. The Alternative Film Festival began to be organized in 2006, with a large number of social movements of the city, based on self-management, and with the intention of occupying the streets and squares of San Sebastian.
This year, for the first time, some of the projections will be projected at the School of Architecture of the UPV/EHU, with the objective of opening a space to discuss the city management through the review process of the General Urban Planning Plan initiated by the City Council: “It will significantly affect the natural spaces and the free spaces, buildings and roads, both public and private, and therefore directly affect the economy, society and the environment of San Sebastian,” the organizers said.
Other actions shall take place in: Fronton de Añorga, Trinia del Casco Viejo, Txantxarreka Gaztetxe del Antiguo, Fronton de Sagüés en Gros, Gaztetxe Letaman en Intxaurrondo y Gladys Enea de Egia.
Another novelty of this year’s edition is that they anticipate that you will see the results of the crowdfunding campaign for the purchase of a new screen and projector.
