Argentina’s embattled film sector took center stage this afternoon at the San Sebastian Film Festival as festival delegates held an official demonstration to highlight the struggles facing the country’s film institutions.
The demonstration was hosted by San Sebastian along with the Argentine Film Academy. Filmmakers from the Argentinian titles in competition at San Sebastian gathered on the stairs of the Kursaal Auditorium, the festival’s main hub, alongside other festival delegates where San Sebastian head José Luis Rebordinos gave a speech. “Today the San Sebastian Film Festival, as the cultural expression that it is, cannot simply sit back and watch the dismantling of a national film industry by a government which, in addition, justifies a military dictatorship responsible for murdering thousands of people,” Rebordinos said.
The demonstration coincided with the premiere of Argentine filmmaker Diego Lerman’s film El hombre que amaba los platos voladores.
This year’s San Sebastian Festival will screen 16 films produced totally or partially in Argentina across the Official Selection, New Directors, Horizontes Latinos, Zabaltegi-Tabakalera, and Movies for Kids sections.
