In the Pearls section, Hungarian filmmaker Ilkido Enyedi, winner of the Golden Bear with the fable On Body and Soul, will compete for the City of Donostia/San Sebastian Audience Award against the Cannes jury prize winner Loveless, by Russian moviemaker Andrey Zvyagintsev and the jury grand prix winner 120 Beats Per Minute by Robin Campillo.
Also contending for the award decided by the spectators are Wonderstruck, the adaptation of a story by Brian Selznick which competed at Cannes, in which Todd Haynes (Carol) directs Julianne Moore, Michelle Williams and child actors Oakes Fegley and Millicent Simmonds.
The Big Sick by Michael Showalter, about an interracial couple forced to deal with their cultural differences, and Call Me By Your Name by Luca Guadagnino will also be part of the festival.
Meanwhile, The Square from Swedish director Ruben Ostlund, recognized with the Palme d’Or at the Cannes festival, will open the Zabaltegi-Tabakalera section.
Also screening there are Philippe Garrel’s L’amant d’un jour (Lover for a Day), Tesnota (Closeness), the debut film of Kantemir Balagov.
