The San Sebastián Festival will once again present, in its 63rd edition, some of the most notable titles of the year's Latin American production. The programming of the Horizontes Latinos section includes fourteen productions from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Chile, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru and Venezuela. Films that have competed or have been presented in important international festivals, but have not been previously seen in any Spanish festival or released commercially in our country.

The selected films compete for the Horizontes Award, which will be decided by a specific jury and is endowed with 35,000 euros, of which 10,000 euros are destined for the director of the winning film and the remaining 25,000 euros for the distributor in Spain.
