The country's most prestigious event is honoring the controversial actor with its lifetime achievement honor.
The group said it reflected badly on San Sebastian that the festival chose to honor a man accused of abusing his ex-wife, Amber Heard. A British judge last year ruled in a libel case that a newspaper’s claims of domestic violence against the actor were “substantially correct.”
“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 the association, told The Associated Press. Andreu said the association, which has close ties to the San Sebastian festival, was “studying next steps” to take to express their displeasure.
