Basque cinema wants to round up a great year in Goya

The appointment is set: Saturday, February 28, at 22:00, in the Forum-CCIB auditorium in Barcelona, a date that the Basque cinema wants to take advantage of to put an excellent brooch to its successful year in the halls and festivals. The awards of the Spanish Film Academy will be held, among others, by Jone; the New Age;the premiere of feature films in Basque Karmele, Maspalomas and Gaua , and theMaspalomas Festival.

This year, there is more chance than ever that the awards will come home. Basque films and professionals have won a total of 47 nominations for theSpanish Film Awards, led by Los Domingos en 13, and a representative of Basque cinema will be present in at least 23 of the 28 awards.

The film by Los Domingos Alauda Ruiz de Azua has 13 nominations, more than any other film, including the best film, direction and screenplay. The winner of the Golden Shell of the San Sebastian Festival is also among the finalists in five of the six interpretive sections: best actress (Patricia Lopez Arnaiz), best actor (Miguel Garcés), best supporting actress (Nagore Aranburu), best supporting actor (Juan Minujín).

The actors of the Basque film Maspalomas are also on everyone's lips, speaking of the favorites for the awards; the protagonist Jose Ramon Soroiz received the Silver Maskorra for the best performance at the San Sebastian Film Festival, and the Goya would be another confirmation for the beautiful work of the legorretarra in the skin of Bixente.

The Basque Country is an increasingly productive country for the audiovisual sector, thanks to its own talent, inter-institutional cooperation, the participation of EITB and tax incentives; proof of this is the nominations received by the major projects led by the Basque producers: The Tigers (with the participation of Kowalski Films and 7 nominations), Un fantasma en la batalla (production of the Basque producer Basoilarraren Filmak 4 nominations, including that of the protagonist Susana Abaitua), The Talento (work of the Basque producer K2000), The The Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the General of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of the Director of

The night, Paul Urkijo's third feature film, is nominated in three sections (best costume design, best makeup and hairdressing and best special effects), Balearic Ion de Sosa's work as best novel director, Decorado Uniko's film as best animation film and Zona wao as best documentary short film, four films that, like Maspalomas, have the participation of EITB.

Finally, the Spanish academy has also valued the work of Basque professionals in productions outside the Basque Country, such as that of actress Elena Irureta and sound technician Urko Garai in Sorda and that of sound technician Aitor Berenguer in El cautivo Alejandro Amenábar.

I hope this 2025 production shutdown is the same as the year.
