The Jury of the Official Selection of the 72nd edition of the San Sebastian Festival will be chaired by Jaione Camborda, whose film ‘Rye Horn’ won last year’s Golden Shell.
In the 2023 review of ‘Rye Horn’, TFV Critic Deborah Young states “Jaione Camborda displays her talent directing a cast of non-pro actors in scenes that can be harsh and visceral, but also seeringly honest, as they deal directly with women’s bodies.”
