The San Sebastian Film Festival will fete Canadian director and screenwriter David Cronenberg with its prestigious Donostia Award at the 70th edition, running 16-24 September.
The filmmaker will receive the career achievement prize on September 21 at a ceremony in the festival's main Victoria Eugenia Theatre, followed by a gala screening of controversial Cannes 2022 Palme d'Or contender Crimes of the Future .
The body horror thriller – starring Viggo Mortensen, Léa Seydoux and Kristen Stewart – divided spectators in Cannes, prompting both walk-outs and a six-minute ovation.
Cronenberg has only attended San Sebastian once before in his career with Eastern Promises , which was the opening film in 2007.
Previous filmmakers to have received the Donostia Award include Francis Ford Coppola, Woody Allen, Oliver Stone, Agnès Varda, Hirokazu Koreeda and Costa-Gavras.
French actress Juliette Binoche will also be honored with a Donostia Award this year.
