2024 JURY WINNER
“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.”
