And the Young Talent Award goes to...Carla Simon!

Another prize has been added to Carla Simon’s shelf for her film “Estiu 1993”. Already having received a Golden Biznaga for best Spanish film at the Malaga Spanish Cinema Festival, “Estiu 1993” continues to garner international acclaim. Overall, “Estuik 1993” has won over 30 prizes from competitions across the world. This past year, it represented the country of Spain at the 2018 Oscars award ceremony and was shown at the International Film Festival of Berlin.

Ms. Simon’s work is familiar to the international festival scene. “Lipstick”, “Born Positive”, and “Las Pequenas Cosas” were all showcased at previous international events.  

With the Young Talent award comes a monetary prize of 50,000 euros for a future cinematographic project. After her success this year, it will be fascinating to see what Carla Simon will create next.
