Ten Titles That Demonstrate the Seville Film Festival’s Commitment to Promoting All Types of European Cinema


16 Oscar-submitted European films feature among this year's Seville program, one of the broadest in the Andalusian event's history.

France’s 2025 Oscar submission and one of the standout favorites to land a golden statue, “Emilia Pérez” impressed at Cannes, where Spain’s Karla Sofía Gascón shared the festival’s best actress award with co-stars Zoe Saldana, Selena Gomez and Adriana Paz. The genre-blending tale – typical of Pérez Sañudo – turns on a withdrawn hypochondriac who finds a new sense of identity and source of public respect during a labor dispute that breaks out at her local paper mill in a blue-collar town near the Basque city of Bilbao. Featuring a bright cast that includes Al Pacino – who godfathered the project for several decades – Riccardo Scamarcio, Antonia Desplat and Stephen Graham, “Modi” world premiered to largely positive reviews from the international press at San Sebastian.
