translated from Spanish: Penélope Cruz, Antonio Banderas and Oscar Martínez open the San Sebastian Festival

This Friday begins the 69th edition of the San Sebastian Film Festival, one of the most prestigious film exhibitions in the world that will take place from September 17 to 25. Some of the most relevant directors of contemporary cinematography will travel to Basque land to present their films, and to inaugurate the ceremony were presented Penélope Cruz, Antonio Banderas and Oscar Martínez who will exhibit “Official Competition” a film that talks about human stupidity.
The film directed by Gastón Duprat and Mariano Cohn, which comes from participating in the Venice Film Festival, is a comedy, where Banderas as Félix Rivero and Martínez as Iván Torres will compete for a role under the eccentric gaze of Cruz, Lola Cuevas.
This year will compete around 200 titles that will be exhibited and, as always, two Lifetime Achievement Awards, which this year go to Marion Cotillard and Johnny Depp, which motivated some claims by the feminist collective, because of the complaint of marital abuse that the actor received from his ex-wife, Amber Heard. Among the figures who will present their new works will be Javier Bardem, Jessica Chastain, Raphael, Paolo Sorrentino and Dolores Fonzi (she acts in “Fever Dream”, by Claudia Llosa, Chile). Also, Todd Haynes, Tatiana Huezo, Ryusuke Hamaguchi, Louis Garrel, Wes Anderson, Jane Campion, Francois Ozon, among others.
