The San Sebastian Film Festival unveiled its first competition titles for its post-lockdown edition. The Spanish festival is pushing ahead despite a recent increase in coronavirus infections in the country. Details:
is a period drama inspired by a real-life witchcraft trial which took place in the Basque Country in the 17th century.is a documentary set in a Florida court that specializes in judicial cases involving minors., a Moviestar+ series created by Rodrigo Sorogoyen; and, an HBO Europe production created by Aitor Gabilondo—which will have their world premieres at the festival in non-competing slots.
San Sebastian is pushing ahead with plans for its 68th festival, which is set to run September 18-26, despite a worrying recent rise in COVID-19 cases in the country. Citing the surge in coronavirus infections, the U.K. removed Spain from its list of countries to which it is safe to travel and has imposed a mandatory 14-day quarantine on travelers from Spain. The Spanish government criticized the move, saying the increase is limited to a small number of isolated hotspots, including the city of Barcelona. The Basque region, where San Sebastian is located, is not currently considered an COVID-19 hotspot.
If infection rates continue to spike or if the Basque Country is hit by a second COVID-19 wave, it could scupper plans for the festival. Travel restrictions already in place, including a ban on U.S. visitors to the European Union, means San Sebastian will be a more local affair this year.
