Festival In Focus: How San Sebastian Has Positioned Itself As A Bridge Between Europe & Latin America


The festival has long supported the early works of famed Latin American filmmakers ranging from Brazil's Walter Salles to Argentina’s Daniel Burman

Since 1989, Golden Shells have been awarded to nine Latin American films ranging from 2022’s The Kings of the World to 2019’s Pacified to 1998’s El Viento Se Ilevó Lo Qué. For example, Un Puma’s Jeronimo Quevedo, now one of Argentina’s leading producers, started in this section and this year, his production Hard Boiled School( La Escuela Pesada) has been selected to participate in the festival’s Europe-Latin America Co-Production Forum. Meanwhile, Lelio’s 2005 debut feature film The Sacred Family( La Sagrada Familia) premiered at the festival before the director received the WIP Latam Award for Gloria in 2012.
