This will also be the first-time visit to San Sebastian by the director Daniela Abad Lombana, who will defend the project for her third feature and debut fiction, Todo esto eran mangas / These Were All Fields; and Ezequiel Yanco, who will do the same with La reserva / The Reserve. For her part, the producer and director Bárbara Sarasola-Day, will come to San Sebastian for the first time as a director with a project, Little War. In previous editions she has presented as a producer films and projects in various of the Festival sections – for example, Rojo (2018), by Benjamín Naishtat, in the Official Selection, where it won three awards; and Puán, by María Alché and Benjamín Naishtat, which will compete in this year’s Official Selection.
