Suzanne Lindon’s “Spring Blossom,” João Paulo Miranda María’s “Memory House” and Grigory Kolomytsev’s “Chupacabra” will vie for the Kutxabank-New Directors Award at the San Sebast…

This year, the New Directors competition takes in 11 films from Brazil, China, France, Ireland, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland, South Korea, Spain, Russia, the U.K. and Vietnam. Of them, seven will be debut features; the rest are second films.

That’s the case of German-born Isabel Lamberti. Straddling documentary and fiction — with non-actors, a non-fiction aesthetic and fictionalized storylines — Lamberti’s “Last Days of Spring” records the emotional wrench suffered by the Gabarre Mendoza family at their imminent eviction from shanty town Cañada Real just outside Madrid, where they have lived happily enough the last 18 years. Amsterdam-based IJswater Films produces with Spain’s up-and-coming Tourmalet Films.

Brazilian Joao Paulo Miranda María, who won the European Distributors and Exhibitors Award at Films in Progress 37 in France’s Toulouse, then a joint venture with San Sebastian, will present this year “Memory House,” a France-Brazil co-production. Among the four filmmakers who compete in New Directors with their second features are the U.K.’s Ben Sharrock. After debuting with “Pikadero” , he returns with “Limbo,” a culture-clash satire on the difficulties and hopes of refugees. Previously winning a Cannes 2020 label, and sold by Protagonist Pictures, the film makes its European premiere at San Sebastian.
