Carlos Vermouth celebrated with the whole team of “Magical Girl” the Concha de Oro (Photo (void): vidayestilo)..
On Saturday ended the Festival of San Sebastián reaffirming itself as the best film festival in Spain. Over nine days he could enjoy over 180 films of different styles, genres, countries of origin, duration … Among all the films were also several world premieres, debuts directors amateurs ., or the latest developments of established filmmakers
It is clear that all viewers have their place in this festival, in luxurious surroundings in which one can only enjoy: movies, beach, food … Surely the Donostia Zinemaldia is growing every year more and hopefully keep doing it.
As usual, The festival ended with the closing ceremony in which, among other things, awards are handed out. The big winner of the night was Magical Girl who took two of the most important awards: the Golden Shell for Best Film and the Silver Shell Best Director to Carlos Vermouth. At the time, we discussed the good feelings after seeing this film and the standing ovation at the Kursaal finish; It was certainly a favorite to win one of the prizes of Donostia Zinemaldia.
In addition, the other star of the night was The minimum island , who took three acknowledgments: Silver Shell for Best Actor for Javier Gutiérrez, Jury Prize for Best Cinematography for Alex Catalán and I Feroz Award
. Surprisingly, “Eden” has not taken any awards
Other films in the official selection took some recognition that the French were Vie Sauvage Special Jury Prize, Stille Hjerte with the Silver Shell for Best Actress Paprika Steen, The Drop with the prize Jury for Best Screenplay Dennis Lehane, Phoenix with the FIPRESCI prize, In Chance Til with the SIGNIS Award (special mention for Loreak ) and Nouvelle Amie A with the Sebastiane Award.
Although it may be more or less agree with the decisions of the judges, has made a little unusual to have so little spread awards in an issue in which has expanded the number of tapes in the Official Selection; bit surprising, for example, that Eden has not led to the end of the day any awards.
In addition, section New Directors the movie award Kutxa The Lesson took. Very wise decision, because within the films that applied for the award this age of those who were more technically and narratively worked, where there was no argument nor vacuum chamber was no mistake. . Would like more to some and less to others, but it was a movie that was very well built
In addition, a special mention to Modris given; on this occasion I was a little surprised, as they generally did not like the attendees of the projection . The award of the Horizontes Latinos section took him Güeros . The Mexican film, a cinematic delight, was a favorite to win, but had strong rivals like Cockaigne or Princess of France .
The Mexican “Güeros” the upper hand in the Horizontes Latinos section and Youth Award
was also tape Ruizpalacios Alonso also won, unanimously, the Youth Award . In this section, two special awards were given. one for People of good and one for Natural Science .
In addition, Pearls , the section in which various films that have received good reviews in previous festivals (Cannes, Berlin, etc) are designed, award ribbons to choose Public. The winner of this award was film The Salt of the Earth with an extraordinary average of 9 out of 10, something rarely seen in the festival. In addition, the award for best European film co-production was for Argentina -. Spanish Stories Wild
And these are pretty much the most important awards that have been delivered in the 62nd San Sebastian Film Festival, in addition to the two prizes Donostia Denzel Washington . Benicio del Toro and
For our part, Our top 5 favorite are (in no particular order):
– Mommy Xavier Dolan

– Cockaigne of Lisandro Alonso
– Magical Girl Carlos Vermouth
-. Still the Water of Naomi Kawase
And, well, we are, to highlight a special mention to Güeros Alonso Ruizpalacios.
If all goes well, next year we will repeat experience. When you’re a movie buff, once attended the Festival of San Sebastián, want to repeat and go every year. There is nothing more enjoyable than being surrounded for nine days of many people with whom you share a hobby. Besides, nothing gives more impression (and happiness) as things are going now to see long queues to enter the cinema, see cartels sold out and see how it is filled a room with more than 1,500 seats. Certainly, if you like movies, this is your place. San Sebastián film is
