San Sebastian to Honor Huppert, Penn, Duvall
Isabelle Huppert, Sean Penn and Robert Duvall will be honored with lifetime achievement awards at the 51st San Sebastian International Film Festival.
Films scheduled for screening at the festival, opening Thursday in the seaside town of Donostia (San Sebastian) in the Basque Country, included Joel Schumacher's "Veronica Guerin," starring Cate Blanchett, and Jacques Rivette's "The Story of Marie and Julien," starring Emmanuelle Beart.
Winners will be announced on Sept. 27.
Kevin Costner's "Open Range," starring Duvall and Annette Bening, will be shown out of competition.
Festival director Mikel Olarcegui said organizers cast a wide net, searching for quality films that might be overlooked and for fresh talent.
"At San Sebastian, we want to discover high-profile emerging talents that later become cult directors," he told The Associated Press.
The festival seeks dramas, comedies and other genres that share, Olarcegui said, "the difficulty living in a world full of contradictions."
