The Academy of Catalan Cinema has released the nominees for the Gaudí Awards, the main annual prizes of Catalonia’s movie industry. The awards mainly recognize the work of Catalan productions or co-productions.

Every year, the Catalan Film Academy recognizes the best films, artists and technicians from the Catalan film industry. Of the 30 movies nominated for Gaudí Awards this year, 12 are directed by women. The Gaudí awards ceremony will be held on January 28 at the Forum Auditorium in Barcelona.
