This year the Festival will review the career of HENRY KING, one of the film-makers who laid the ethical and aesthetic foundations of Hollywood. Then FIEBRE HELADA (ICY FEVER) – the new Nordic cinema- will offer a selection of films made in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark and Iceland over the last 10 years.

In the course of the Presentation Ceremony on 11th May the Festival also announced the official poster for its 55th edition, plus the other posters that will be the image of its different sections. They have all been designed by Oscar Mariné, considered one of the greatest creators in the world on the graphic design and communication scene.

The Festival also informs that the prize money for the different sections will be higher this year: The Premio TCM del público, awarded by spectators to one of the films in the ‘Perlas’ section, will be worth 70,000 € instead of 30,000 €. Within this section there is a new second prize of 35,000 € for the European film that gets the most votes. Both prizes cannot be accumulated. Finally, in ‘Horizontes Latinos’ the winning film in Premio Horizontes, chosen by a specific international jury, will receive 35,000 € this year against the 18,000 € prize money in previous editions.
