"Six Months in the Pink Blue Building" wins the Sebastiane Latino Award
The lesbian, gay, bisexual trans and intersex association of the Basque Country has awarded the award to the feature film of the Mexican screenwriter and director Brumo Santamaría Razo.
"Seis meses en el edificio rosa con azul"
The feature film 'Six Months in the Pink Building with Blue' has won the award awarded by the Association of Lesbians, Gays, Bisexual Trans and Intersex of the Basque Country, Sebastane Latino Gehitu, to the Latin American feature film 'LGBTIAQ+', which best represents the claims and values.
According to the jury, the film written and directed by Bruno Santamaría Razo invites us to an autobiographicalcoming age through a dance of memories that he has created in fiction and recovered from the past, and shows us all the stigmas of HIV that we consider past turned into scars of today.
Santamaria Razo's film has been imposed on four other finalists: 'The Silent Virgin' (Xavi Sala), 'Nem Todo Historia de Amor Acaba em Morte' (Bruno Costa), 'Bowels of Hell' (Gustavo Vinagre and Gurcius Gewdner) and 'A Paixão Segundo G.H.B.' (Gustavo Vinagre and Vinicius Couto).Likewise, last year's winning film of the Sebastiane Latino Prize, La misteriosa mirada del flamenco, will be seen in several Guipuzcoan municipalities during the first weekend of the San Sebastian Film Festival.
In addition, the festival will award the Sebastiane Prize, for the twenty-seventh time, to the film chosen by director and producer Leire Apellaniz and screenwriter Abril Zamora.
This other award awarded by Gehitu is won by the film that best reflects the reality and values of LGBTIQA+ people, and this year 24 films that will be seen at the Festival will be the candidates for the award.
