The 71st San Sebastián International Film Festival ran 22–30 September 2023 in San Sebastián,[1] Gipuzkoa, Spain. The awards were announced on 30 September 2023, with The Rye Horn winning the Golden Shell, being the first film directed by a female Spanish director to win said award.[2]
Background
In May 2023, actor Javier Bardem was announced as a recipient of a Donostia Award as well as the main feature of the 71st edition's official poster.[1][3] An early subset of the official selection film slate was announced on 7 July 2023.[4][5] New official selection titles were announced on 14 July 2023.[6] In August 2023, The Boy and the Heron was announced as the out-of-competition opening film.[7] Later that month, Spanish director Víctor Erice was announced to be the recipient of a Donostia Award.[8] The entire official selection line-up was announced on 25 August.[9] On 8 September, it was announced that Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki would receive a Donostia Award, presented to him virtually, while the award for Bardem would be postponed to next year's festival due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, which forbids the US-unionised actor to attend to the media or to record thank-you videos.[10]
