Last year it was French star Isabelle Huppert who graced the official poster of the San Sebastián International Film Festival, and now Madrid-born Penélope Cruz has been chosen for this particular honour for the 67th edition of the gathering, which will unspool from 20-28 September this year. In addition, Cruz will be handed the Donostia Award for her contribution to film, a prize that has previously been bestowed upon other high-profile and eminent Spanish actors, such as Carmen Maura, Fernando Fernán Gómez, Antonio Banderas and Paco Rabal.

, which is currently on general release in Spain and will soon be shown in competition at Cannes) – said: “I receive the news of this Donostia Award full of emotion and gratitude to the San Sebastián Festival for granting me this immense honour. San Sebastián is not only an internationally renowned festival, but also the most important in our country and a very special place for me because I have had the pleasure of visiting it since I was very young and have experienced very touching moments there. Thank you very much, from the bottom of my heart!”

Meanwhile, San Sebastián Film Festival director José Luis Rebordinos enthused: “We are delighted that Penélope Cruz, a marvellous actress whom we admire and whose footsteps we have also followed since the start of her career, has agreed to be the image of the San Sebastián Festival and to receive the Donostia Award.” Penélope paid her first visit to the gathering in 1994, when Álvaro Fernández Armero’s Todo es mentira was competing for the Golden Shell; the last time she attended was in 2017, when she brought the Pearls section to a close together with Javier Bardem, in Loving Pablo [+lire aussi :
