Background
editA restored 4K version of Montxo Armendariz's film Tasio (which premiered at the 1984 San Sebastián Film Festival) was announced to be part of the 'Klasikoak' slate.[2] Audrey Diwan's Emmanuelle was later revealed to be the festival's opening film, as well as part of the official selection's competitive lineup.[3][4][5] 2023 Donostia Award winner Javier Bardem is expected to receive the award in 2024, as the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike prevented him from attending the 71st festival.[6] On 9 May 2024, the festival's organization unveiled the official poster for the 72nd edition; it features Donostia Award winner Cate Blanchett and it was designed by José Luis Lanzagorta based on a black and white photograph by Gustavo Papaleo.[7][8] On 12 July 2024, the Academy of Cinematographic Arts and Sciences of Spain disclosed the 17 Spanish-produced titles which are to be part of the festival slate.[9] On 14 August 2024, filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar was announced as the recipient of another Donostia Award.[10]
