Zinebi (Basque: Zinebi), styled in all uppercase, also known as the International Festival of Documentary and Short Film of Bilbao,[1] is an annual international film festival that has been held in Bilbao since 1959. It is dedicated to documentary, animations and other short film forms.

It is the only Class-A international documentary festival recognised by the FIAPF in Spain.[2] It has also been accredited by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences as a qualifier for the Oscars and is a qualifier for the BAFTAs awarded by the British cinema industry and for the Spanish Goyas.[3]

Organised by the Teatro Arriaga, the festival has currently institutional financing and sponsorship from Bilbao City Council.[3]
