Starring model-turned-actress Agyness Deyn (Clash of the Titans) as a farm- ass torn between her obligation to the family farm and love of books, Sunset Song ranked No. 2 on El Diario Vasco’s Spanish critics’ poll of San Sebastian competition contenders, only bested by Cesc Gay’s Truman. San Sebastian’s prize ceremony takes place Saturday night.
Fortissimo’s San Sebastian slate runs a broad gamut, taking in Spaniard Paula Ortiz’s The Bride, a big-screen transplant of Federico Garcia Lorca’s Andalusia-set stage play, Blood Wedding, to the white desert of Turkey’s Capadocia; and two titles in San Sebastian Culinary Zinema: Mirai Konishi’s Kampai! For the Love of Sake and Willemiek Kluijfhout’s Sergio Herman, Fucking Perfect.
“We are thrilled to present such a varied line-up of titles at San Sebastian,” said Fortissimo Films’ Nelleke Driessen. That variety, indeed, characterized the festival 2015 line-up and deals and negotiations as a whole. San Sebastian biz – deals and dealing – was solid-to- trong and noticeable for being across a broad board.
