‘As bestas’, by Rodrigo Sorogoyen, leads the nominations, with ten nominations, followed by ‘Cinco lobitos’, by Alauda Ruiz de Azúa, who aspires to seven awards
Everything is now ready for the Feroz Awards gala, the awards given by the film reporters grouped in AICE, whose tenth edition is held this Saturday at the Zaragoza Auditorium. The appointment, casual and scoundrel -who will be the master of ceremonies has been guarded with special zeal, after the stupendous role played by Paula Púa and Nacho Vigalondo last year-, is the starting signal for the awards season and works as a prelude to of the Goyas. A season for which ‘As bestas’, Rodrigo Sorogoyen’s film inspired by a real event that occurred in a village in Ourense, starts as a favourite. The Madrid-born feature film, which has already been seen by more than 600,000 spectators in Spain and has collected more than 4 million euros, to which must be added the more than 1.8 million obtained in France, tells the story of a French couple who He settled in inland Galicia to make his dream of living off the land come true. Two of the locals will not make it easy for him, which leads to a suffocating thriller with the manner of a western, which reflects on xenophobia, environmentalism and the class struggle. Her exquisite rhythm and magnificent performances have earned her ten nominations.
The second film with the most nominations is ‘Cinco lobitos’, the debut feature by Biscayan Alauda Ruiz de Azúa, which is up for seven Feroz Awards. The moving film deals with the efforts of a new mother, who, in addition to taking care of her baby, has to take care of her parents. She will be one of the great protagonists of these awards, which certify the boom in female directors that Spanish cinema is experiencing. Not surprisingly, for the first time in the history of the awards, four directors opt for the Feroz: Alauda Ruiz de Azúa for ‘Cinco lobitos’, Carla Simón for ‘Alcarràs’, Pilar Palomero for ‘La maternal’ and Carlota Pereda for ‘Cerdita ‘. The only director in this section is Rodrigo Sorogoyen for ‘As bestas’, a film that has obtained nominations in almost all categories: film, direction, script, soundtrack, actress, actor, supporting actor -in this case for two, because both Diego Anido and Luis Zahera are nominated-, trailer and poster.
We say almost all because the AICE awards distinguish between drama and comedy. Thus, ‘Cinco lobitos’ and ‘As bestas’ will compete in the category of best dramatic film with ‘Alcarràs’, ‘Modelo 77’, by Alberto Rodríguez, and ‘One year, one night’, by Isaki Lacuesta, while the candidates for Best Comedy are ‘Official Competition’ (Gastón Duprat and Mariano Cohn), ‘The Fourth Passenger’ (Álex de la Iglesia), ‘You have to come see it’ (Jonás Trueba), ‘Vasil’ (Avelina Prat) and ‘ I’m going to have a good time’ (David Serrano).

In the supporting actress section, the fierce ones will be contested by Adelfa Calvo for ‘En los márgenes’, Ángela Cervantes for ‘La Maternal’, Carmen Machi for ‘Cerdita’, Susi Sánchez for ‘Cinco lobitos’ and Emma Suárez for ‘La Rite of Spring’. Along with Diego An¡do and Luis Zahera, from ‘As bestas’, the supporting actors who will compete for the award are Ramón Barea for ‘Cinco lobitos’, Jesús Carroza for ‘Modelo 77’ and Oriol Pla for ‘Wild Sunflowers’.
