17 Spanish produced titles – 12 feature films, one mid-length film, one short and three series – are slated for the 72nd San Sebastian Festival, taking place from September 20-28, 2024, in the Official Selection and the sections New Directors, Horizontes Latinos, Zabaltegi-Tabakalera and Velodrome.

I’m Nevenka (Soy Nevenka) starring Mireia Oriol and Urko Olazabal, the true story of a town councillor and the high price she had to pay for reporting the abuse perpetrated by the mayor, is the fifth participation in the Official Selection from Iciar Bollain.

The Official Selection will also feature The Wailing (El llanto), the directorial debut from Pedro Martín-Calero, author of short films and a raft of works for the music and advertising industry. In El llanto, Ester Expósito, Mathilde Ollivier and Malena Villa play three women at different moments in time, connected to one another without realizing it and faced with a threat bigger than all of them.

Pilar Palomero will show her third feature, Glimmers (Los destellos), taking its inspiration from the short story Bihotz handiegia by writer Eider Rodríguez. Patricia López Arnáiz, Antonio de la Torre, Marina Guerola and Julián López head the cast of this story about a woman who accepts the task of caring for her ailing ex-husband despite having been separated for more than a decade.

For his part, Albert Serra (Banyoles, 1975) will participate in the Official Selection for the first time with Tardes de soledad, a non-fiction about bullfighting bringing a study of the mental and spiritual states of the bullfighter in the ring.

The Official Selection Special Screenings will host the out of competition screening of Paula Ortiz’s The Red Virgin (La virgen roja), starring Najwa Nimri, Alba Planas, Patrick Criado, Aixa Villagrán and Pepe Viyuela. She returns to the true events of Spain in the 30s, where the young Hildegart is conceived and raised by her strict mother to become the woman of the future.

The New Directors section will open with La guitarra flamenca de Yerai Cortés, the directorial debut from Antón Álvarez, better known, in his musical facet, as C. Tangana. After starring in This Excessive Ambition (Esta ambición desmedida) -which had its world premiere at the San Sebastian Festival (Velodrome, 2023)-, the documentary project signed by Little Spain, in this non-fiction film Álvarez uses the music as a vehicle to immerse the audience in the guitarist’s personal story, reveal a great family secret and confront the ghosts of the past.

Cecilia Atán and Valeria Pivato will also compete in New Directors with their second collaboration, The Arrival of the Son (La llegada del hijo), about a mother reunited with her son on his release from jail. In the cast are Maricel Álvarez, Angelo Mutti Spinetta, Cristina Banegas and Greta Fernández.

The Andalusian moviemaker Sandra Romero, winner in Malaga of the Silver Biznaga for Best Director in the fiction shorts category with Por donde pasa el silencio / Where the Silence Passes (2020), takes the same story and title to make her feature directorial debut about a young man who returns to the family home.

Among the Horizontes Latinos titles with Spanish production is Most People Die on Sundays (Los domingos mueren más personas) for which debuting director Iair Said landed last year’s WIP Latam Industry Award and the Egeda Platino Industry Award for Best WIP Latam. Said, who boasts experience as a short filmmaker and actor, helms and stars in the life story of a young middle-class Jewish boy who returns from Europe to Buenos Aires when his uncle dies. The film premiered in the ACID section at the Festival de Cannes.

Also to feature in the Horizontes Latinos section is Maybe It’s True What They Say About Us (Quizás es cierto lo que dicen de nosotras) co-directed by Sofía Paloma Gómez and Camilo Becerra, which tells the tale of a successful psychiatrist visited by her elder daughter following a long period cut off from the world as part of a sect.

The Zabaltegi-Tabakalera program will include Southern Brides (Las novias del sur), a film from Elena López Riera. This mid-length movie recently premiered at the Cannes Semaine de la Critique, where it bagged the Queer Palm, follows a group of mature women as they discuss marriage, love and sexuality.

The San Sebastian Film Festival, the biggest film event in the Spanish-speaking world, has unveiled a packed lineup of Spanish titles that is strong on women auteurs, led by Iciar Bollaín, Pilar Palomero, Paula Ortiz and Alauda Ruiz de Azua, who are now stepping up in scale or industry backing as big SVOD players – Movistar Plus+, Prime Video – move into the production of Spanish movies aimed at theatrical release or back their original series.

Vying in main competition, Bollaín’s “I Am Nevenka” looks like the first film to see the light of day from six auteur event movies co-produced by Movistar Plus+ and directed by leading cinematographic talent such as Rodrigo Sorogoyen and Alberto Fernández.

Also selected are two leading lights of a younger generation of women directors which have galvanised Spanish arthouse but are now looking for broader audiences.

Popular on Variety
Goya and San Sebastian winner Pilar Palomero (“Schoolgirls,” “La Maternal”) competes in main competition with “Glimmers,” (“Destellos”), a relationship drama backed by not only Misent Producciones and Inicia Films, Palomero’s regular producer, as well as Mod Producciones, behind some of Spain’s biggest recent productions such as Alejandro Amenábar’s “While at War” and “The Captive.”

A Special Screening, “The Red Virgin” (aka “Hildegart”) is directed by Paula Ortiz, who helmed “Across the River and Into the Trees” with Josh Husherton and Liev Shreiber, who returns to Spanish filmmaking with a real events inspired drama which will debut in theaters across Spain on Sept. 27 as the first Prime Video original to get a wide theatrical release in the country.

Having broken out with her feature debut “Lullaby,” a Spanish Academy Award and Málaga winner described by Pedro Almodóvar as “undoubtedly the best debut in Spanish cinema for years,” Alauda Ruiz de Azúa directs the highest-profile series at San Sebastián, “Querer.”

Set in the current day and laced by genre drive as both courtroom drama and psychological thriller, “Querer” begins when Miren, after more than 30 years of marriage and two sons, abandons the family home and goes to a police station with her lawyer to denounce her husband for decades of sexual abuse.

San Sebastian does not operate a quota system for women cineastes’ presence in its lineup. “What we’re seeing is that there’s ever more cinema made by women, in Spain and in international cinema,” San Sebastian director José Luis Rebordinos told Variety. “The [Spanish government’s] points system backing women filmmakers is working, for example. That’s a fact.”

Spain’s main competition presence is rounded up by “Tardes de Soledad” “The Wailing” (“El Llanto”), toplining Ester Expósito, one of the stars of Netflix global hit “Elite,” and co-written by Rodrigo Sorogoyen’s regular co-scribe Isabel Peña (“The Beasts”).

Among Spanish titles, further highlights look set to include “Los últimos románticos” from David Pérez Sañudo (“Ane is Missing”).

Getting on for a decade ago, Rebordinos was worried that Spanish cinema, whammied by governmental austerity measures, would not be able to supply the brace of top-notch art pic titles which have characterised San Sebastian since the mid-‘70s.

No more. “Every year it’s increasingly complicated to choose Spanish titles for competition and New Directors. Spanish cinema is in ever greater health given the variety of titles on offer,” he said at a Madrid presentation on Friday of Spain’s lineup at this year’s San Sebastian Festival. San Sebastian normally chooses three Spanish films for competition and two in New Directors: This year there are four and three, he noted.

“What I see is ever greater variety,” Rebordinos told Variety. “Pilar Palomero’s title is a film of sentiments. ‘I Am Nevenka’ is a political film, combatting sexual abuse. ‘The Wailing’ is a genre film, straight-arrow horror. Its ending yields a reading that transcends genre, but it comes through a genre vision. That’s really important to me.”

“The competition also has a non-fiction title, Albert Serra’s ‘Afternoons of Solitude,’ and New Directors includes C. Tangana’s directorial debut, a great doc-feature on a flamenco musician,” Rebordinos added. “Genre auteur cinema has been around for some time, but there’s ever more of it, and non-fiction cinema is increasingly normal,” Rebordinos concluded.

The 72nd San Sebastian Film Festival runs Sept. 20-28.
