Three names for the jury that will decide the Colón de Oro

Twelve feature films will compete for the Colón de Oro in the Official Competition Section of the Festival de Huelva de Cine Iberoamericano, and three film and journalism professionals will decide the awards. The event, now in its 52nd edition, runs from November 13 to 21. The jury is made up of director and screenwriter Remedios Malvárez, Portuguese screenwriter, producer and director Ana Luísa Oliveira, and journalist Moisés Rodríguez. Malvárez began in photography and in 2014 founded Producciones Singulares, a company focused on documentary film where she works as director and screenwriter. Her distinctions include the Medalla de Oro de la Ciudad de Sevilla, the Medalla de Huelva, the RTVA Award for Best Andalusian Director and the Josefina Molina Award for her career. Her most recent work, «Acuérdate de mí», premiered at the last Festival de Málaga, has been awarded at Alcances and will be screened at this edition within the non-competitive Latidos section. Oliveira has written, produced and directed the documentaries «2 Metros Quadrados» (2024), «Até ao Fim» (2022), «Lar Doce Escola» (2020) and «A Ver o Mar» (2018), the latter awarded the Take One! directing prize at the Festival Internacional de Cine Curtas Vila do Conde. She has also worked in the production of festivals such as the Internacional de Archivo, Memoria y Etnografía and the Internacional de Documental de Melgaço (MDOC). Rodríguez holds a doctorate in Journalism and Cinema from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and has worked at Televisión Española (TVE) since the late eighties. He was deputy director of Canal 24 Horas between 2016 and 2018 and since 2012 has presented and co-edited the channel's nightly news programme. Since 2017 he has also directed and presented the weekly film programme «Secuencias en 24». He has received two Antenas de Plata for Best Television Presenter of the Year, in 2012 and 2019, the Ana Baschwitz Award and the Premio Europa de Cultura. The festival has also announced in recent days other names for this edition, such as Paulina García, who will receive the Premio Ciudad de Huelva, and filmmaker Sebastián Haro, Premio RTVA al Mejor Cineasta Andaluz.
