As was the case last year, four majority-French productions will be presented in the Official Competition at the San Sebastián Film Festival, with a special screening also held of See You Up There by Albert Dupontel.

Added to the fifteen other French titles spread across the various festival sections, that makes a total of close to twenty French productions to be screened at this event held in the Spanish Basque Country.

Agnès Varda will be in attendance (alongside her co-director JR) to accompany a screening of their film Faces, Places (Faces, Places). The filmmaker will also receive one of the three Donostia Awards presented this year, in honor of her illustrious career.

In addition to this, Thierry Frémaux will present his film Lumière! on September 23, just prior to its release in Spanish theaters.
