High-profile Spanish filmmaker Paco Plaza will also compete at San Seb this year with his latest horror movie La Abuela. Plaza is the director behind [REC] and Veronica, his latest follows the nightmarish journey taken by the life of a young woman who leaves her job as a model in Paris to return to Madrid and take care of her sick grandmother.

Also returning this year is Icíar Bollaín, who will present Maixabel, starring Blanca Portillo as the widow of the socialist leader murdered by ETA, with Luis Toser playing one of the killers. Bollaín has been in the official selection four times. Jonás Trueba also returns with Quién lo impide, which has been made over five years.

Official Competition, starring Penélope Cruz and Antonio Banderas, will open this year’s Perlak Section at San Seb following its screening in Toronto.

Earlier this week, the festival unveiled its New Directors lineup.
