Carlos Rodríguez
 
40 min. Short film
On receiving the Donostia Award in 1987, Glenn Ford said: ?From now on you're part of my family?. It's true, all of the big film names who have come to the San Sebastian Festival over its 50 years of existence form part of a big family related by kinship, profession, friendship, nationality, or simply by having coincided at the Festival. Links offers the spectator a visual game explaining the relationship existing between them all. The protagonists themselves will tell us the story of the Festival based on images and testimonies extracted from a variety of archives.
Max Ophüls
 
110 min.
A circus director narrates the tragic tale of the life and loves of Lola Montes, of Spanish-Irish origin, a great lover of adventure and cabaret dancer who became the lover of Franz Liszt and of King Louis I of Bavaria. The Portuguese director Manoel Oliveira has chosen Max Ophüls' masterpiece, in a version recently restored in all its splendour, to accompany the tribute being paid to him by the IFFA (International Federation of Film Archives) as part of the Donostia-San Sebastian Film Festival.
Aki Kaurismäki
 
97 min.
A man who travels to Helsinki in search of work is mugged and loses his memory, obliging him to start anew, coexisting with the homeless and the outcast. He discovers love and other values with which he is not ashamed to live. A little story about people who still know how to be kind.
