The San Sebastian International Film Festival unveiled the lineup for its New Directors competition, with eight of the 14 films having female directors.
Eight of the 14 titles are directed by women, a significant number considering recent reactions to a lack of female directors in this year's Venice competition.
Eight of this year's 14 selected films are debut efforts, while the remaining ones are second features, several of whose directors have previously participated in San Sebastian. And eight of the films come from a total of nine female directors. . The first and second feature film directors also vie for a Youth Award selected by a jury of some 300 youngsters between the ages of 18 and 25.
