‘El 47’ and ‘Querer’ win best film and series at the Forqué awards gala | Culture

It has won the 30th edition of the awards for best fiction feature film and the award for Cinema and Education in Values. On television, To want, series led by Alauda Ruiz de Azúa, has won the awards for best series, and that is why both productions have been the great winners of a gala that is more coherent in their television achievements than in cinema.

The Forqué awards are granted by Egeda, the entity that manages the intellectual rights of producers, an organization that presides and usually points the way to the Goya awards. They usually point out, true, but last year at this gala it triumphed and at the Film Academy Awards the Goya for best film went to Juan Antonio Bayona. Pedro Almodóvar has never won at the producers’ awards, so over the years in which a production of El Deseo, the company of the Almodóvar brothers, won the main Goya, it had never obtained a similar reward at the Egeda gala. This past Friday, at 2:00 p.m., the first round of Goya voting closed, from which the nominations will emerge. The result will be announced on Wednesday the 18th.

In cinema, the best performances as the police who end up in an ETA commando in The infiltratorand where he plays Enric Marco, who invented a past as a prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp. They were two of the most irrefutable awards of the night.

Curiously, Fernández is also the protagonist of The 47th, where he plays Manuel Vital, a Barcelona bus driver who, in 1978, became a hero by fighting for the municipal bus lines to reach his neighborhood, Torre Baró. Fed up with the City Council’s disregard, one day he drove to his house in the vehicle he was driving to demonstrate that it was an accessible area.

The awards ceremonies in the cinema can be debatable, like the Oscar and Goya ceremonies, leaden and long, like those of the César or those of European cinema, and then there are the Forqué, who when they get together with American producers , becomes Platinum. Musical pastiches without much sense and even less grace. And on this occasion, seasoned with a crazy television production, in which the precise shot was never right: either it was ahead or behind. At least the ceremony didn’t last two hours.

The 47the populist and simplest cinematographic option, competed against the Spanish representative at the Oscars and won the Malaga festival; The blue star, by Javier Macipe, and The infiltrator, by Arantxa Echevarría, the surprise at the end of the year at the box office where it is approaching eight million euros in revenue and almost 1,250,000 tickets sold.

In the other cinematographic sections the surprises were even more painful due to the quality of the defeated rivals: black butterflies won best animated feature film; in a long documentary, and the Chilean The place of the other, long Latin American. Finally, the audience award, which is sponsored by a cinema chain, went to The entity’s Gold Medal for his work as a producer this year praised This honor did bring the producers to their feet in 2013 to applaud an Almodóvar, in this case Agustín, who received the same tribute.
