San Sebastián Festival 2024 Celebrates Cinema Amidst Industry Challenges

The festival highlights global talent and supports Argentina's struggling film industry with special events and premieres.

The 72nd San Sebastián International Film Festival runs from September 20-28, featuring a mix of established stars and emerging talent.
Cate Blanchett, Pedro Almodóvar, and Javier Bardem will receive career achievement awards, while Johnny Depp premieres his new directorial film 'Modi'.
The festival continues to bridge European and Latin American cinema through sections like Works in Progress Latam and the Europe-Latin America Co-Production Forum.
In response to Argentina's film industry crisis, San Sebastián will host a day of action on September 24 to support Argentine filmmakers and premiere key films.
New talent is a focal point, with three debut films in the main competition and a strong presence in the New Directors section.
