The Basque Country Film School has its sights set on 2026
The year 2025 has undoubtedly been a turning point for the ECPV – Basque Film School, closing the academic year with a very positive balance both in training and creativity. It has been a year marked by the projection of young talent, the presence of students at key festivals, and the development of projects that already look toward the future of Basque cinema.
A Year with Real Presence in the Industry and Festivals
One of the major milestones of 2025 was the participation of ECPV students in festivals such as ZINEBI, a crucial platform for short films and auteur cinema. This presence reaffirms the school’s commitment to training connected to the audiovisual sector and professional circuits.
Throughout the year, students have also been involved in notable film productions, such as Gaua, demonstrating that their experience at ECPV goes beyond the classroom, translating into practical experience and direct contact with real projects.
Projects that Spark Conversation and a Vision for the Future
The 2025 course also brought forward titles that have attracted interest and excellent reception. This includes Jone Batzuetan, a project that has resonated with audiences and highlighted the narrative sensitivity and technical level of the students.
Furthermore, the school has been the space for developing new ambitious film proposals, such as Gaubela, led by Iker Reyes, which continues progressing and establishing itself as one of the emerging productions to watch closely in the coming months.
2026: New Challenges, More Cinema, More Opportunities
With this background, ECPV faces 2026 with enthusiasm and clear goals: to continue training film professionals from a practical, auteur-driven perspective connected to the industry, and to keep being a meeting point for new voices in the Basque audiovisual sector.
The school is already preparing the next edition of its training programs, expanding content, strengthening practical aspects, and maintaining direct contact with festivals, production companies, and industry professionals.
Enrollment for the Next Academic Year is Open Soon
As a final highlight of this positive year, ECPV will open enrollment for the 2026 course on January 15th. Additionally, anyone interested can get to know the school, its methodology, and teaching staff firsthand by signing up for the open house days, an ideal opportunity to clear doubts and discover how to take the first step into the world of cinema.
Because if 2025 was a great year for ECPV, everything points to 2026 being even better.
