'Le Faux Soir' to Close 2026 San Sebastian Film Festival

Michaël R. Roskam's 'Le Faux Soir' will close the 2026 San Sebastian Film Festival in an out-of-competition slot, The Hollywood Reporter reported on 20 August 2026. The Belgian-French co-production recreates a 1943 Belgian resistance operation in which underground fighters printed a fake edition of the Nazi-controlled newspaper 'Le Soir' — what some historians consider the first-ever media hack. The film premieres first at Toronto.
