“A festival focused on socio-environmental issues. In 2023, Gamboa Zinemaldia was born. We have also been expanding horizons, reaching more territories, thanks to the push of local agents. Gamboa Zinemaldia is now present in the council of Ullibarri-Gamboa. This second edition signifies a continuous process of change in a world of constant changes. The evolution of the festival in terms of conscious environmental action can be seen above all in a fundamental issue such as mobility.
At Gamboa Zinemaldia, we are committed to the use of more sustainable public transport. Education is one of the key skills on the path to an ecologically, economically, and socially sustainable future, and therefore, it is one of the stars of the festival. This is especially noticeable in the Youth Section “Filmed in Ullibarri-Gamboa.” In the coming years, we hope for the maximum number of spectators to enjoy the screenings, and we seek to address issues of vital importance, creating a space for reflection and educational criticism, with audiovisual as a fundamental element in all its genres and formats.”

The official section is directed at the entire citizenry, with special emphasis on the involvement of the inhabitants of the council, and showcases the award-winning short films selected at the festival.
