The 68th San Sebastián Film Festival helped revive the global festival circuit this season with a physical event held September 18-26 in Spain. The lineup, which kicked off with Woody Allen’s “Rifkin’s Festival,” concluded with the annual awards September 26.
The festival’s big winner was Georgian writer/director Dea Kulumbegashvili’s debut feature “Beginning,” taking four of the jury prizes including Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Actress, and the Golden Shell for Best Film. A psychological portrait of the effects of an extremist attack on a rural place of worship, “Beginning” was originally slotted for a Cannes competition premiere, and also played the Toronto International Film Festival. Next, it will head to the ongoing New York Film Festival.
Other highlights included Florian Zeller’s Oscar hopeful “The Father,” winner of the Audience Award — and a likely Best Actor nominee next year for Anthony Hopkins’ devastating turn as a man wrestling with dementia.

The streets of the Spanish town are much quieter than usual.
The San Sebastian International Film Festival opened last night with the world premiere of Woody Allen’s Rifkin’s Festival.
As in Venice earlier this month, face coverings and social distancing rules were required by everyone attending the opening gala and the red carpet was reserved exclusively to press photographers and TV cameras rather than the usual local crowds.
The Covid-19 pandemic means far fewer international names are attending the festival this year and the streets of the picturesque Basque town are much quieter than usual during festival time.
