Films from Álvaro Longoria, Itsaso Arana and Gerardo Herrero are among the 19 features selected for the Made In Spain strand of San Sebastian International Film Festival (SSIFF, September 22-30), the non-competitive showcase of Spanish talent.
Longoria will close the strand with the world premiere of La Vida De Brianeitor about a teenager with a physical disability who becomes an elite gamer.
Also world premiering is Mercedes Moncada Rodríguez’s documentary Perplexed Ants exploring workers trying to prevent the collapse of their industry.
The other world premieres include Juanma Betancort’s documentary Seed Of Son about the former Radio Futura frontman and Juan Francisco Viruega’s feature debut Amanece which follows two sisters looking after their ill mother.
Actor Itsaso Arana will screen her directorial debut The Girls Are Alright, after premiering at Karlovy Vary while Gerardo Herrero’s Malaga jury winner Under Therapy and Elena Martín Gimeno’s Cannes award-winner Creatura are also among the selection.
