 San Sebastián International Film Festival (SSIFF) is held every year usually on September. The old competitive festival started in 1952 when the movies that participate in the festival were Spanish talking only. In 1955 other languages movies were integrated in the festival.

In 1957 San Sebastián’s festival was recognized as A category by FIAPF (International Federation of Film Producers Associations), the voluntary organization that determines the competition rules of the great and important film festivals in the world. Like every year, hotel rooms are in high demand with surging prices during festival days. Therefore, it is highly recommended to book lodging accommodations ahead of time to enjoy preferable, better rates.

The famous festival attracts a large audience from year to year, filmmakers, producers and famous actors from all over the world. The climax is the plenty number of premieres and quality films that justify the festival as one of the most important film festivals in the world.

Spain background and overview
Spain's powerful world empire of the 16th and 17th centuries ultimately yielded command of the seas to England. Subsequent failure to embrace the mercantile and industrial revolutions caused the country to fall behind Britain, France, and Germany in economic and political power. Spain remained neutral in World Wars I and II, but suffered through a devastating civil war (1936-39). A peaceful transition to democracy following the death of dictator Francisco FRANCO in 1975, and rapid economic modernization (Spain joined the EU in 1986), have given Spain one of the most dynamic economies in Europe and made it a global champion of freedom. Continuing challenges include Basque Fatherland and Liberty (ETA) terrorism and relatively high unemployment.
