A suitcase is the star of the poster for 59th edition of Zinemaldia

The new image for the 59th edition of San Sebastian Festival was presented at an event in San Sebastian''s Kutxaespacio Science Museum. The star of the poster for this edition is a suitcase. An invitation to embark on the journey represented by a film festival, gathering point for members of the public and professionals the world over, and starting point for the imaginary voyages and worlds brought to us by each of the participating films.

The 59th edition will run for nine days, from Friday 16th to Saturday 24th September. As usual, the three competitive sections, Official, Zabaltegi and Horizontes Latinos, will form the backbone of the San Sebastian Festival. The management and selection team will be structured hence forth with the incorporation of José Luis Rebordinos as its director.

The programme will also feature the other initiatives corresponding to the usual sections: Made in Spain, Zinemira, Films in Progress, Cinema in Motion and Film Students. Additionally, starting from this edition, there will be two new sections focussed on combining film with pleasure and fun: "Midnight showings" and "Film and gastronomy".

The Zabaltegi poster offers a profile out of context, yet recognisable, over which slide the letters making up the name of the section, suggesting new ways of observing a same place.

The Horizontes Latinos poster brings us a deep look plunging us into a world of warm colours, lights and shadows produced by an intense dawn on a face brimming with contrasts.
