Aitor Arregi, Jon Garaño eta Jose Mari Goenaga izan dira gaueko irabazle handietakoak.

The Infinite Trench, by Aitor Arrangi, Jon Garaño and Jose Mari Goenaga, has also won many other awards.

In particular, the film of the house Moriarti has won the Irizar Prize for the Basque Cinema for the Best Screenplay, as well as the Best Direction Awards. The directors have claimed the Basque and Andalusian character of the film and have also reminded Juanmi Gutierrez, who died this year in the Gipuzkoan capital.

The Special Jury Prize at the San Sebastian Film Festival two years ago was the first step in the successful career of this film; with the recognition this year, the trajectory of The Infinite Trench has received a great boost.

The award for the best actress has been for two actresses and ex-aequo actors: Daughter of a thief of Greta Fernández and Nina Hoss in The Audition. The jury's special prize has been for Proxima.

Ken Loach, film director
"You have to ask the movies to be awake at least."
Film is a sequence of gestures, a sequence of gestures. The filmmaker makes a constant wink to the camera, to the landscape, to the character, to the object. If the gesture is lost, the cinema is lost, humanity is lost. English director Ken Loach (Nuneaton, Warwickshire, 1936)... [+]

Izibene Oñederra Aramendi, filmmaker
"I'm interested in when the representation of transgression is related to everyday life"
The topos are in the mouthpiece in the movies. Izibene Oñederra's topes, however, have their own symbols and connotations, and call them with their own beautiful shapes. It's captured them in animated images and published them as micronarratives. They show up at the San Sebastian... [+]

Oliver Laxe, film director
"We're all guilty, we've all believed the religion of cities."
Compare your film with a warm, simple and complex soup or soup at once. Less appreciated in postmodern times full of sugar and chemistry, but it offers a vital refuge. At the Cannes Film Festival, critics and audiences were led by the movie O that burns. After passing through... [+]

Analysis
Depoliticized young people or weaned speeches?
It was not at all one of the films that was most mentioned at the Festival, because the issues they touch and the way in which the film is made are also so, but Nos défaites, by the director Jean-Gabriel Périot, deserves a visit, a curious artifact, an atypical documentary... [+]

I've seen two films in a very short time at the San Sebastian Festival
In 1999 we met Takashi thanks to the film Miike Audition. This plural is majestic – at least I had first heard of Miike – but it can also be normal, because I am afraid there are not many who have known Miike through horror films.

Fire and maternity
Outside the Official Section, fire has been one of the elements that has been repeated, related to pyromany in O that burns, and raised as an accident in the Chilean film Ema. In the case of Oliver Laxe's film, fire enters the painting, while Paul Larraine's film falls outside of... [+]

Peripheral neighborhoods, Basque directors and female looks
The official flagship of the 67th edition of the San Sebastian Film Festival has left two net winners and several trends.

Fiction and documentation
The festival, which has lasted for a week, will end when it could have taken the path of a symbiosis with the city. Perhaps a Swiss actor has today been able to pronounce in memory the words he learned in the Basque dictionary for foreigners distributed by Bagera, or the... [+]

Recipes for understanding films
Zinemaldia reaches its destination. Almost all movies have had their first screening, and most of them, criticism in the media. The public, therefore, no longer plays randomly. More than once I have heard it say: "This is fine, it'll be OK," or "there's no entrance for this, and I'm... [+]

World workers, join the Official Section!
“Sometimes it happens that the next one follows where a film ends, as if the programmers or the chance had wanted to make a single giant metafilm stitched all the films of the Festival.” I'm circling that phrase written by Harkaitz Cano in yesterday's column, on the day we've... [+]

When he takes the knot
It is the sixth day and the beginning of the final straight of the San Sebastian Festival. Something amazing happened this Wednesday: Do you know how before the movies you hear some notes of what looks like a jazz music, like the leit motiv of the festival? And if people... [+]

Difficulties to return home and diseases that can be cured by traveling
At the press conference of the film The Daughter of a Thief we have been able to live the time of the day and probably the whole Festival.

Forms of the testimonies
The rain has begun to fall and the day is over, even though the sun has risen. Zinemaldia has become a fully Donostian festival, as if it were ready to create a new neighborhood. The movie's patience starts to run out: he prefers to go eat pintxos before he gets to watch a boring... [+]

Good retirement
I have always been drawn to attention by some foreign correspondents and critics who follow the Festival. In particular, those who are a little advanced in age. His white hair, his fluttering ways of walking, his snoring on the desk passes. If I had time to read the chronicles... [+]

Unsquare
The festival reaches its meridian. The citizen has become accustomed to the image of the cinéphiles and the public has become accustomed to the room. I've found more than one sleeping in performances, trusting in the environment. Questions to directors are also becoming... [+]
