Naomi Watts and Brad Pitt to appear at San Sebastián Film Festival

From September 18 to 26, the San Sebastián Film Festival in the northern coastal city will showcase a lineup of global talent, including Naomi Watts, Brad Pitt, Marion Cotillard, Orlando Bloom, Ricardo Darín, Jeremy Irons, Rami Malek and Diego Luna. Watts, 57, is set to accept the Donostia lifetime-achievement award, recognized as one of her generation’s most acclaimed actresses. Brad Pitt will attend the event to present David Ayer’s "Heart of the Beast" in the out-of-competition section.

German filmmaker Werner Herzog will be honored with a second Donostia award for his prolific body of work. Seventeen films compete in the official selection, with a jury chaired by U.S. director Ira Sachs evaluating the entries, including Pablo Larraín’s "My Sad Dead" and Jesse Eisenberg’s "The Debut".
