TIFF, scheduled to take place between July 23 and August 1 in Cluj-Napoca, will run an extensive Focus Spain program, covering screenings, talks and masterclasses, industry initiatives and exhibitions.
Part of this program is Carte blanche: San Sebastián, showcasing a selection of ten Spanish films recently curated by the San Sebastián Festival selection committee. Among them is the film that will open this year’s TIFF, Cesc Gay’s comedy The People Upstairs.
In keeping with its attention to emerging talent, the majority of the works come from San Sebastián’s New Directors section, the festival said. Viewers can therefore enjoy Ane (Ane Is Missing, David Pérez Sañudo, 2020), La última primavera (Last Days of Spring, Isabel Lamberti, 2020), Hil kanpaiak (Death Knell, Imanol Rayo 2020), Viaje al cuarto de una madre (Journey to a Mother’s Room, Celia Rico Clavellino, 2018) and Apuntes para una película de atracos (Notes for a Heist Film, León Siminiani, 2018).
Carte blanche: San Sebastián will also include the feature film La hija de un ladrón (A Thief’s Daughter, Belén Funes, 2019) and Rodrigo Sorogoyen’s six-part series Antidisturbios (Riot Police). Sorogoyen won the Transilvania Trophy in 2014 with Stockholm. Also part of the selection is the musical Explota explota (My Heart Goes Boom!, Nacho Álvarez, 2020).
