The San Sebastián International Film Festival, the most prestigious of its kind in Spain, is currently underway. The San Sebastián International Film Festival (Festival Internacional de cine de San Sebastián in Spanish and Donostia Zinemaldia in Basque) was founded in 1953. The film festival was started by a group of San Sebastián businessmen, and Spanish dictator Francisco Franco - perhaps surprisingly - immediately gave it his blessing. It is one of only 15 category 'A' film festivals accredited by the FIAPF (International Federation of Film Producers Associations) alongside such other illustrious film festivals as Venice, Cannes and Berlin.
