Zinebi will present one of his Mikeldi of Honor to the actress, screenwriter and director Margarethe von Trotta, in recognition of the “strength and honesty of her cinema”, and the other to the director Imanol Uribe, “one of the key filmmakers of Spanish cinematography from the second half of the 20th century “, in recognition of his long career.

Uribe, who already won awards in Zinebi in 1977 and 1982 for two short films, will present a preview of his new film at the next Bilbao festival, which will be released in 2022 and will deal with the assassination of the Basque Jesuit Ignacio Ellacuría in El Salvador in 1989.
