The Wait For U.S. Distribution & The “Barren” UK Landscape: International Film Execs Debate The Current Market — San Sebastian


San Sebastian Film Festival runs until September 28.

Hosted at San Sebastian’s imposing, hipster-coded contemporary arts center Tabakalera, the conference runs for two days and features onstage Q&As with execs from the U.S., Europe, and Asia. He emphasized the point when quizzed by an audience member on why what they described as the “broken” Kristin Scott Thomas-directed drama North Star featuring Scarlett Johansson has been unable to find a distribution home following its debut at TIFF. Thomas was quizzed on his decades-long career, which includes credits like Bernardo Bertolucci’s The Last Emperor, and he said his practice has only been sustainable because of his openness to working with international partners on films that he could never “put together in the UK.”
