Welcome Bienvenidos

The 20th edition of the London Spanish Film Festival has been a true celebration of Spanish cinema and its talent. As we wrap up this edition and start working on what’s going to be 2025’s Spring Weekend and Festival, we’d like to share the decision of our Jury this year, which was formed by fashion editor Catherine Hayward, playwright Mark Ravenhill and costume designer Janty Yates. After a full immersion in some of the most recent Spanish cinema, the Jury has taken the following decision:

“We were impressed by the range and ambition of all the films in this year’s festival. Amongst those we particularly enjoyed were Justica Artificial, Los pequeños amores and Pájaros.

We’ve decided to award Best Film to El maestro que prometió el mar, a powerful and engaging story which explores Spain’s urgent contemporary questions about its past.

We would like to give our Special Mention to Clara Bilbao, who contributed to two fantastic films, as costume designer of Que nadie duerma and as director of Tratamos demasiado bien a las mujeres.”
