Background
In June 2020, American actor Viggo Mortensen was announced as recipient of a Donostia Award.[5] Other than the announcement of the opener (Rifkin's Festival, out of competition), the first films confirmed to be in for screening were official selection competitive titles Another Round, True Mothers, Summer of 85, In the Dusk, Beginning, and Any Crybabies Around?.[6] The festival picked up 17 works (13 feature films and 4 short films) that have been pre-selected for the 2020 Cannes Film Festival, cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in France.[7] Cannes Festival director Thierry Fremaux participated in the Zinemaldia's opening gala on 18 September, making together with José Luis Rebordinos a plea for the return of people to the theatres.[8][9]
