The film ‘Tasio’, by Montxo Armendariz, restored this year in 4K, will open the Klasikoak section of the San Sebastian Festival on September 21, which includes titles by Jane Campion, Bigas Luna, José Antonio Nieves Conde, Tseng Chuang-Hsiang and Niki de Saint Phalle.
Montxo Armendariz’s debut film, which premiered at the San Sebastian festival in 1984, returns to San Sebastian 40 years later, after having been selected for the most prestigious classic film festivals: Cannes Classics at the Cannes Film Festival, Cinema Ritrovato in Bologna and the Lumière Festival in Lyon, where it will be screened in October, reports the Zinemaldia in a note.
Klasikoak, which has been rescuing old and modern films from the history of universal cinema since 2018, has programmed for the 72nd edition of the Festival, in addition to ‘Tasio’, ‘Surcos’, by José Antonio Nieves Conde, and ‘Tatuaje, primera aventura de Pepe Carvalho’, by Bigas Luna, which will close the section.
The film chosen for the film is The Piano, the iconic period story that was acclaimed by critics and audiences in the 1990s and won the Palme d’Or and three Oscars. It will be presented by the director of the Institut Lumière and artistic director of Cannes, Thierry Frémaux.
Also included in the selection is Tseng Chuang-Hsiang’s Killing the Husband, a classic of the new wave of Taiwanese cinema from the 1980s, and A Dream Longer Than the Night, the second and latest film by French painter, sculptor and filmmaker Niki de Saint Phalle, in which she also stars and in which her husband, Swiss sculptor Jean Tinguely, appears in the cast.
