"We never considered withdrawing the Donostia award from Johnny Depp"

José Luis Rebordinos, director of the contest, celebrates his tenth year at the head of it

by MATÍAS G. REBOLLEDO

José Luis Rebordinos (Rentería, 1961) says that on the morning of August 9, when the communication cabinet of the San Sebastian International Film Festival announced that Johnny Depp would be honored with the Donostia Award, the organization was prepared for the possible media storm. Said cloud became a hurricane and, of course, it jugged. And wow, if he jarred. Numerous personalities and associations - the most important CIMA, which brings together women in the national film industry - criticized the tribute to the actor of "Pirates of the Caribbean" for the various accusations of violence and harassment that he has been accumulating along with his box office successes.

"No, we never consider taking away the prize," replies the director of the most important contest in Spanish cinema, who celebrates with this edition already ten as captain of the ship. And he continues: "It would have been such a lack of respect for the actor that we didn't even consider it. We knew there was going to be controversy. We didn't expect her to be so violent, but we've been seeing things that come out in the media for years. We have documents, not statements, and we don't talk to talk. Including the famous sentence of "The Sun". We know perfectly how the subject is going. We have already said everything we had to say and the only thing I can highlight is that Depp has not been arrested, nor charged in court, nor convicted of mistreatment of a woman," he clarifies with some vehemence on the other side of the phone.
