MADRID -- John Crowley's Intermission (Ireland/United Kingdom/United States), starring Colin Farrell, and Amer Alwan's first nondocumentary feature, Zaman, the Man Who Lives in the Reeds (Iraq/France), are two of the 18 films from the San Sebastian International Film Festival's Zabaltegi section to compete for the new directors award, organizers said Tuesday. Such films as Victor Manuel Arregui's Fuera de Juego (Ecuador) and Michaela Pavlatova's Faithless Games (Czech Republic) emphasize San Sebastian's traditional focus on titles from emerging talent. First or second works by directors screened in the festival's Official, Zabaltegi and the newly created Horizontes sections -- highlighting Latin American films -- are eligible for the 120,000 ($130,833) Altadis-New Directors Award.
