Aitana Sánchez-Gijón. Goya de Honor

The annual programming on the Instituto Cervantes Vimeo channel begins with a cycle dedicated to the actress Aitana Sánchez-Gijón, who receives the 2025 Goya Honor Award on February 8 in Granada.

As the president of the Film Academy, Fernando Méndez-Leite, expressed, she is «an actress very loved and respected by her colleagues and recognized by the public and critics since her beginnings. A complete actress: serious, responsible, competent, approachable and who knows how to give truth, sincerity and depth to all her works.

The titles of the cycle have been selected by the artist herself: in addition to Volavérunt, a film by Bigas Luna for which she was awarded best actress at the San Sebastián Festival, her proposal brings together essential films from the end of the 20th century directed by leading directors of Spanish cinema, such as Vicente Aranda, Bigas Luna, Jaime Chávarri and Fernando Colomo.
