San Sebastian Film Festival 2009

As usual, the most heavily attended performances will be at the Velodrome. With an enormous 400m² screen, and a film theatre fitted out for an audience of 3,000 people with the very latest screening and sound systems, this year the Velodrome will have a new dimension. A series of films will be shown that will provide a special occasion to enjoy the new 3D screening system with the extra spectacular feature of a giant screen.
