If you are interested in the day`s plan, here you have the programming of the days: http://www.sansebastianfestival.com/programacion I have been twice in the cinema festival and I found it very interesting because there was a lot of famous people and a good atmosphere around all the city. Here you can see a John Travolta`s photo. He is receiving the Concha award in San Sebastian. He is an American actor, dancer and singer. In the late seventies, he appeared in two of his most important roles: Tony Manero in Saturday Night Fever and as Danny Zuko in Grease (1978). The films were among the most commercially successful pictures of the decade. Saturday Night earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. At age 24, Travolta became one of the youngest performers ever nominated for the Best Actor Oscar, and he sang several of the songs on the Grease soundtrack album. |
