DESTINATION -Fall arrives smack in the middle of the San Sebastián International Film Festival, but it’s certain to look like summer on the beaches of this elegant Atlantic coast resort near the French border. Opening its 57th edition on Sept. 18, the festival is the perfect excuse to go to the movies, laze around on nearly four miles of beaches, and eat Spain’s best and most inventive small dishes in the bars. When Napoleon sacked and burned the city in 1813, he inadvertently did the Basques a favor. They rebuilt the old port as a glamorous belle époque resort that’s been devoted ever since to stylish hedonism.
Star-spotting along the beachfront promenade is always a top sport at the festival, where tickets run only $8 to $9.50 for most screenings of films in a babel of world languages. Some blockbusters are shown in the 3,000-seat bicycle racing stadium, while major competition screenings take place in the Kursaal, a dramatic modern exhibition center designed by Rafael Moneo.
