FEATURE FILMS

The jury composed of Pedro Souto, Sandra Enriques and Óscar Doviso decided to award the following prizes in the feature film category:

Best Film
THE COMPLEX FORMS by Fabio D’Orta
(Italy, 2023) Spanish Premiere
“For its brilliant production design and approach to the story it tells, because here great imagination makes up for a small budget, with a small technical team that makes the most of each element that makes up the film.”.

Best director
Lorenzo Lerín for TÓXICO
(Spain, 2024) Galician Premiere
“For making the most of the actors, who place them in uncomfortable places, where the story always advances towards inhospitable places and escapes from conventions to highlight planning and a risky ending.”.

Best Acting
Roberto Hoyo for TÓXICO
(Spain, 2024) Galician Premiere
“Because as an actor he makes easy what is really complicated and makes it so that we cannot take our eyes off the character he plays, with a very particular voice that manages to captivate us, without a doubt, Roberto has a promising future ahead of him.”.

Best Special Effects/Visual or cinematography
Fabio D’Orta for THE COMPLEX FORMS
(Italy, 2023) Spanish Premiere
“For combining cinematography created for an exquisite black and white in which the special effects provide the perfect imagery to tell this fascinating story”.

Jury Special Award
THE BEAST HAND by Taichiro Natsume
(Japan, 2024) Galician Premiere
“For its clever use of low-budget manga-style visual and special effects that helped create a crazy, “so-unbelievable-it’s-conceivable” suspense story about an underdog Japanese man”.

Best Latinamerican film
1978 by Nicolás and Luciano Onetti
(Argentina, 2024) Galician Premiere
“For the creative approach of Nicolás Onetti and Luciano Onetti in constructing a period film that credibly incorporates a universal satanic cult horror story into a very specific moment in Argentine history, supported by clever art direction and visual effects.”.
