Audrey Diwan‘s Emmanuelle has been announced as the opening film of the 72nd San Sebastian Festival, in competition. The feature film will be screened as a world premiere on September 20 in a gala screening attended by the director and the cast, led by French actress Noémie Merlant (Portrait of a Woman on Fire, Tár) in the titular role.
