At San Sebastian Festival’s 71st edition, Zabaltegi-Tabakalera will host a series of works coming in the main from Berlin, Cannes, Locarno and Venice, among other festivals. In the event’s most open competitive selection, where everything goes as far as style and runtime are concerned, Ion de Sosa, Andrés Di Tella, Ashmita Guha, Kohei Igarashi and Rati Oneli will show their latest works as world premieres alongside moviemakers such as Paul B. Preciado, Delphine Girard, Jean-Luc Godard, Yui Kiyohara, Damien Manivel, Rodrigo Moreno, Éléonore Saintagnan and Eduardo Williams. The selection will have the participation of 25 titles: fifteen features, eight shorts and two medium-length films.
Zabaltegi-Tabakalera is San Sebastian Festival’s all-encompassing competitive section, where there are neither rules nor limits as to style or runtime: short, medium-length, feature, fiction, non-fiction or animated films, series, audiovisual installations, future discoveries and contemporary classics as yet unseen in Spain. This is a section for films daring to try new angles and formats, a true open and high-risk zone.
All films in the Zabaltegi-Tabakalera section, organised by the San Sebastian Festival and Tabakalera-International Centre for Contemporary Culture, compete for the Zabaltegi-Tabakalera Award, decided by a dedicated jury. The accolade comes with 20,000 euros for the director (6,000 euros) and distributor of the film in Spain (14,000 euros).
