Santiago Segura and Carlos Areces will give the
Un Futuro de Cine Award to José Mota in Cinema Jove
Santiago Segura and Carlos Areces will visit the International Cinema Festival-Cinema
Jove in Valencia, scheduled from June 15 to 22, in order to give the Un Futuro de Cine Award to
José Mota. In turn, the actress Ana Álvarez will be the one who will give the Luna de Valencia
Award to the Danish filmmaker Lone Scherfig.
Valencia, June 11th. The director and main character of the Torrent saga, which first episode
had an unprecedented box-office success in Spain and earned the Goya Award for Best New
Director, together with Carlos Areces, recognized with the Un Futuro de Cine Award 2011 by
Cinema Jove, will give the same award this year to the actor José Mota.
The award will be given on Friday 15th in Cinema Jove’s opening gala, which will take place
in the Teatro Principal de Valencia at 22.00, and in which the Danish filmmaker Lone Scherfig,
director of An Education, will have the Luna de Valencia Award. The actress Ana Álvarez will
give to the first woman in shooting a Dogma movie, Italian for Beginners, the statuette with which
the Festival, promoted by the Tourism, Culture and Sports Department through the IVAC
(Valencian Institute for Audiovisual and Cinema Ricardo Muñoz) recognizes Scherfig’s career.
Supporting Cinema Jove
Santiago Segura’s first short films were premiered in Cinema Jove, in which a very young
director-aspiring was awarded in 1990 for his Relatos de la medianoche. From then the filmmaker
keeps a narrow relationship with the festival. In 2011, Segura, who presented this year the Goya
Awards, took part in the homage Cinema Jove paid to Berlanga. And this year he comes back to
Valencia to give to José Mota, with whom he acts in Alex de la Iglesia’s As Luck Would Have it, the
Un Futuro de Cine Award.
Carlos Areces, an actor we will soon see in Almodovar’s last film, Los amantes pasajeros,
comes back to the Festival after receiving in the previous edition the Un Futuro de Cine Award.
We can remember his interpretation within his filmography in Óscar’s Aibar The Great Vázquez,
Álex de la Iglesia´s The Last Circus and Nacho’s Vigalondo’s Extraterrestrial.
Another Cinema Jove´s frequent character is the actress Ana Álvarez, member of the Jury
for the Official Short Films Section in Cinema Jove in 2010. Álvarez took part in more than thirty
feature films and TV series. Her most internationally famous role was in Juanma Bajo Ulloa’s The
Dead Mother for which she received the Best Actress Award in the Stockholm International Festival
Cinema and in the Cartagena de Indias International Film Festival. In television we saw her in
Quart, Acusados, Los misterios de Laura, La memoria del agua o Sin tetas no hay paraíso. This year,
Álvarez comes back to Cinema Jove to give the Luna de Valencia Award to Lone Scherfig and to
“support”, in her words, “one of the best Spanish cinema festivals”.
