Yesterday, the 66th San Sebastián International Film Festival announced the identities of 13 titles that will be taking part in its New Directors section, which, as its name suggests, is dedicated to emerging talents presenting their first or second features (see the news). Today, it did likewise for the first seven titles in its premier league: the Official Section, whose top prize, the Golden Shell, will be handed out to one of the contenders at the end of the gathering, on 29 September.

 took part in the 24th Films in Progress and Horizontes Latinos sidebars of this very same gathering). The film, set in his home country in the 1970s, just before the installation of the ill-fated dictatorship, is toplined by Darío Grandinetti and Alfredo Castro. Finally, among the titles announced so far in the Official Section (more will be unveiled next week, particularly Spanish ones), we should also mention Illang: The Wolf Brigade, a South Korean film helmed by Kim Jee-Woon, which is a remake of Jin-Roh, an anime written by Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in the Shell). The movie revolves around the Kerberos Panzer Cops, an extremely violent police force.

Here is a list of the titles announced so far:
