Luna de València Award Presentation: Félix Sabroso
At the 41st edition of Cinema Jove, the Luna de València Award for Outstanding Career Achievement will be presented to Spanish director and screenwriter Félix Sabroso.
His ability to move seamlessly between comedy and the most heartbreaking drama, as well as across different formats, combined with a distinctive voice and unmistakable style, has established him as one of Spain’s most influential filmmakers. His work embodies the spirit of the festival and serves as an inspiration across all four official competition sections.
