The San Sebastián Film Festival has announced its competition lineup, once again filled with high-profile filmmakers who will compete for the Golden Shell in this 72nd edition of the festival, to take place from 20 to 28 September.
There’s a lot of Cannes and Venice rejects here. This, of course, does not mean that quality will be low, but it’s something that should be mentioned.
The opening film, Audrey Diwan's “Emmanuelle,” will be joined in competition by the likes of Joshua Oppenheimer’s “The End,” Mike Leigh’s “Hard Truths,” Costa Gavras’ “The Last Breath,” Edward Berger’s “Conclave,” Albert Serra’s “Afternoons of Solitude,” and Gia Coppola’s “The Last Showgirl.”
