Woody Allen will open the 52nd San Sebastian Film Festival in September with the world premiere of his new film, “Melinda and Melinda.”

The 68-year-old Allen also is to be honored with a lifetime achievement award, and the festival in Spain will show a retrospective of his work as a writer, director and actor, organizers said Friday.

His new romantic comedy stars Radha Mitchell, Chloe Sevigny and Jonny Lee Miller. It will not be competing for the festival’s top Golden Shell prize. The festival begins Sept. 17 with 10 days of screenings in Spain’s northern Basque region.
