San Sebastian Film Festival Reveals ‘Made in Spain’ Lineup
The San Sebastian Film Festival has unveiled the list of 28 films that will be featured in the ‘Made in Spain’ section of the event, scheduled to take place from September 19 to 27 this year.
This year’s lineup includes five world premieres, comprising four feature films and one short film. The other films in the program have been previously shown at various international festivals or released in Spanish theaters.
Among the world premieres is Fragmentos, a new film by Mexican director Horacio Alcalá. The film, produced by AF, Match Point, and E Media Canary, follows the story of Raúl (played by Manu Vega) and his wife Alba (Asia Ortega), who visit a remote, picturesque beach in an attempt to salvage their deteriorating marriage. Despite the serene setting, their relationship is marred by toxicity, driven by sexual tension and constant bickering, which continues to harm Raúl despite the picturesque surroundings. The couple stays at a campsite managed by Carla (Emma Suárez) and Ben (José Luis García Pérez), whose own relationship is teetering on the brink. The discovery of a book filled with marriage questions sets off a chain of events that exposes the deep issues in both couples’ relationships.
Other notable entries include Sirāt by Oliver Laxe, which clinched the Jury Prize at Cannes; Carla Simón’s latest film Romería; and Sorda / Deaf by Eva Libertad, which debuted in the Panorama section of the Berlinale and won the Audience Award there.
