The British actor and director Harris Dickinson and producer Archie Pearch presented Urchin at 73rd edition of the San Sebastián Film Festival. Dickinson's debut feature competed in Un Certain Regard at Cannes —where it received the FIPRESCI Prize and the Best Actor Award— before competing in Zabaltegi-Tabakalera. In the film talk, moderated by the Festival delegate Wendy Mitchell on September 20, 2025 at the Tabakalera cinema, they talked about the challenges of making a first film, their creative process and Devisio Pictures, the London and New York-based production company they founded in 2023.
