Kyle Catlett and Helena Bonham Carter in The Young and Prodigious T S Spivet, which will receive its world premiere as the closing night gala of San Sebastian Film Festival 2013. |
Shot in 3D, the film stars Kyle Catlett as T. S. Spivet, a 12-year-old child prodigy who lives on a ranch in Montana. When a scientific institute announces that he has won a prestigious award, he sets out across the country to collect it. The film also features Helena Bonham-Carter, who will attend the closing gala.
The festival organisers have also added Academy Award-nominated director Atom Egoyan's new film Devil's Knot to the official section.
About the 1993 "West Memphis Three" murders and starring Colin Firth and Reese Witherspoon, the film joins Bosnian director Jasmila Žbanić's For Those Who Can Tell No Tales and Austrian director Götz Spielmann's Oktober November as the festival's latest choices to compete for the Golden Shell.
