San Sebastian Film Festival To Host “Day Of Support” For Argentinian Cinema

The San Sebastian Film Festival has said it will host a day of action in support of Argentinian cinema during this year’s 72nd edition, which runs September 20-28.
The Spanish festival has teamed with the Argentine Academy of Cinematography Arts and Sciences and producer Gabriel Hochbaum along with Argentinian production companies, filmmakers, and journalists to mount the event.
The solidarity day will take place on September 24, coinciding with the Official Selection premiere of Argentine filmmaker Diego Lerman’s film El hombre que amaba los platos voladores. The festival will also host a cocktail event with the Argentine delegation, who will gather on the Kursaal Auditorium stairs before the screening of Traslados. The non-fiction film directed by Nicolás Gil Lavedra, which will be released in Argentina tomorrow, will have its international premiere in San Sebastian and focuses on the so-called death flights, one of the popular execution techniques used by Argentina’s last military dictatorship.
