The San Sebastian International Film Festival has unveiled 15 titles for its official selection at this year's 48th edition (Sept 21-30).

The line-up so far is marked by a high number of Spanish productions and co-productions, among them Karl Francis' One Of The Hollywood Ten, starring Jeff Goldblum and Greta Scacchi, which will close the section and screen out of competition.

  • Elie Chouraqui's Harrison's Flowers;
  • Alex de la Iglesia's black comedy Commonwealth (La Comunidad);
  • Salvador Garcia Ruiz's The Other Side (El Otro Barrio);
  • John Irvin's boxing drama Shiner;
  • Korean newcomer Bong Joon-ho's Barking Dogs Never Bite;
  • Nicolas Klotz's Parias;
  • Esther Gronenborn's Alaska.De;
  • Francisco Lombardi's Tinta Roja;
  • Francois Ozon's Under The Sable (Sous Le Sable), also at Toronto;
  • Maria Novaro's Sin Dejar Huella;
  • La Perdicion De Los Hombres from Arturo Ripstein, who also has Such Is Life (Asi Es La Vida) in San Sebastian's Top section;
  • Junji Sakamoto's Face;
  • and Imanol Uribe's Plenilune (Plenilunio).

    • The festival also announced an addition to the Zabaltegi (Open Zone) New Directors' line-up: director Jonathan Glazer's debut effort Sexy Beast, a Spanish-UK co-production starring Ben Kingsley and Ray Winstone. That film too features among Toronto's selections.
