Biography

[edit]

José Luis Rebordinos Miramón[1] was born on 22 September 1961 in Errenteria.[2][3] He earned a degree in Special Pedagogy.[4] He directed the first edition of the San Sebastián Horror and Fantasy Film Festival in 1989.[5] As responsible for the cinema department of Donostia Kultura, he also directed the San Sebastián Film and Human Rights Festival.[4] In 2011, he replaced Mikel Olaciregui as director of the San Sebastián International Film Festival (Donostia Zinemaldia).[6] His overarching strategy at the helm of the festival has been guided by the idea of reconciling the audience with the need to make commercial-driven decisions in order for a festival to reach a certain level of media clout.[6]

In 2015, he was bestowed the Gold Medal of Merit in the Fine Arts,[1] and in 2021 with Knight rank of the French Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.[3]

He is a member of the European Film Academy.[3]
