The San Sebastian Film Festival has come out swinging against those who criticized if for bestowing its highest honor, the Donostia Award, to controversial actor Johnny Depp. Among the critics were…
who said they were “very surprised” that Depp is receiving the award. “This speaks very badly of the festival and its leadership, and transmits a terrible message to the public: ‘it doesn’t matter if you are an abuser as long as you are a good actor,’” Cristina Andreu, president of Spain’s Association of Female Filmmakers and Audiovisual Media had told the Associated Press.
“In these present times, when lynching on social media is rife, we will always defend two basic principles which form part of our culture and of our body of laws: that of the presumption of innocence and that of the right to reintegration,” José Luis Rebordinos, director of the San Sebastian Festival, said in a statement on Friday.
