San Sebastián Film Festival, Arts & Cultural Life

The San Sebastián International Film Festival (the 'Zinemaldia' — one of the 14 'A-category' film festivals in the world, held annually in the third week of September since 1953) and the broader arts and cultural life of San Sebastián (the Victoria Eugenia Theatre, the Tabakalera Contemporary Culture Centre, the San Sebastián Museum, and the Basque Contemporary Art Scene) make San Sebastián one of the most culturally rich cities of its size in Europe.
