The list includes both competition and out-of-competition titles. Designations such as opening film or special screening can also help you decide what to book.\n\n| Title | Official Designation | Spoiler-Free Overview |\n|---|---|---|\n| Geister / Ghost Song | Opening film·Competition | A love story directed by Fatih Akin |\n| Heart of the Beast | Out of competition | An Alaskan survival adventure directed by David Ayer |\n| Sacamantecas / The Harvester | Special screening·Out of competition | A crime story set in 19th-century Álava |\n\nIf your goal is to see competition titles, read each title’s designation first.

Film information is available in the [2026 Official Selection](https://www.sansebastianfestival.com/2026/sections_and_films/official_selection/8/in).\n\n## Can Subtitles Differ Between Screenings of the Same Film?\n\nEven for the same film, the listed subtitles may differ by venue. If you need English subtitles, check the language information for each screening. The film’s original language and subtitle languages are listed separately.\n\nThe official programme’s screening information for Sacamantecas is one example. (Verified information: the September 20, 2026 (Spain) screening at Principal is listed with Spanish and Basque subtitles and English electronic subtitles, while the September 22 screening at Antiguo Berri 6 is listed with Spanish and Basque subtitles · Source: sansebastianfestival.com · Verified 2026-09-13) The Principal screening lists English electronic subtitles.

Finish checking subtitles before selecting your seats.\n\n## How to Avoid Selecting the Wrong Programme Year\n\nConfirm that the year shown in the programme body is 2026. During verification, some routes displayed a previous edition. Do not rely only on the event year shown at the top of the website.\n\n1. Confirm that the body states 2026 and the 74th edition.\n2. If a previous edition appears, return to Programme on the website.\n3. Compare the date, title, and venue on the booking screen with the programme.\n\nThe [existing programme/17 route](https://www.sansebastianfestival.com/programme/17) displayed content for the 73rd edition in 2025. Base your viewing plans on the programme linked from the current website.\n\n## Checking Sold-Out Screenings and Preparing for Admission\n\nFor sold-out screenings, you can check again on the screening day to see whether tickets are available. Same-day online sales begin at 08:00 local time. Additional ticket availability is not guaranteed.\n\n- You can enter with a mobile Home Ticket or digital ticket.\n- Entry is not permitted after the screening has begun.\n- Standard purchase changes or refunds are not allowed.\n- Exceptions for exchanges or refunds apply when the festival cancels or changes the programme.\n- The Velodrome and Tabakalera Hall 1 are exceptions to assigned seating.\n\nCheck the actual booking screen for remaining seats for each screening.
