The New Wave of Global Cinema: What's at Stake in San Sebastian The San Sebastian film festival has unveiled its competition lineup for 2026, featuring new films from prominent directors like Mike Leigh, Pablo Larrain, and Hans Petter Moland.
On the surface, this year's selection appears to be business as usual, but a closer look reveals a more complex picture.
Mike Leigh's latest film, Tender Loving Care, marks a departure from his typical British centric dramas. This change of pace is notable, especially considering Leigh's long history with San Sebastian.
