ESCAC talent nominated at the Goya Awards

Today, the nominations for the 33rd edition of the Goya Awards, presented by the ‘Academia de las Artes y las Ciencias Cinematográficas de España’, were announced. The winners will be announced at the gala to be held in Seville on 2 February.

Best Special Effects:

• Lluis Rivera (with Félix Bergés) for La sombra de la ley.
• Lluis Rivera and Laura Pedro for Súperlopez

Lluis Rivera was nominated in 2014 for Los últimos días and won the Goya along with fellow graduate Lluís Castells in 2016 for Anacleto: agente secreto. This is the first nomination for Laura Pedro who, if she wins, would be the first woman to do so.

Both have been nominated for the same work at the Catalan Film Academy’s Gaudí Awards.

Best cinematography:

• Edu Grau for Quién te cantará, repeating the nomination he also received at the Gaudí Awards.

Edu Grau was already nominated in 2011 for Buried.

Best New Director:

• Master’s in Directing alumni Andrea Jaurrieta for Ana de día. In addition to Jaurrieta (director and screenwriter), Master’s in Cinematography alumni Juli Carné Martorell participated in the film as director of cinematography and Master’s in Art alumni Héctor Ayuso in the art department.

ESCAC graduates have so far achieved more than 40 nominations and 20 Goya Awards. Good luck to all of them!
