61st San Sebastián Festival

For this year’s San Sebastián Festival, AC/E is collaborating with the Spanish institute of cinematography and audio-visual arts (Instituto de la Cinematografía y de las Artes Audiovisuales, ICAA) by inviting programmers of international film festivals. The invitation is part of the PICE visitors programme, which enables international planners from different artistic disciplines to familiarise themselves with what Spanish creators have to offer. In this case, the aim is to provide them with a closer insight into the Spanish film world.

This action is part of the Programme for the Internationalisation of Spanish Culture (PICE) promoted by Acción Cultural Española (AC/E) and supported by ICAA, which is attached to the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport. It is designed to make international cultural planners from different artistic disciplines aware of what Spain has to offer in their sector by facilitating the incorporation of Spanish creators into their programmes.

Representatives of the following festivals have confirmed their attendance of the San Sebastián Festival: Christ Fujwara, artistic director of Edinburgh International Film Festival; Trevor Groth, director of programming of Sundance Film Festival; Bill Guentzler, artistic director of Cleveland International Film Festival; Barbara Morgan, executive director of the Austin Film Festival; Hebe Tabachnik, programmer of Palm Springs Festival; Genna Terranova, director of programming of Tribeca International Film Festival; and Orna Yarmut, director and founder of the CoPro Israel Documentary Screen Market.
