Catalan filmmaker takes highest prize in festival debut, with coproductions 'Los Destellos' and 'El Llanto' winning Silver Shells

Isaki Lacuesta will run in the official competition with ‘Los Pasos dobles'. Manuel Huerga will show his movie on the Second Republic and the political fight between Catalonia’s main politicians at the time, Francesc Macià and Lluís Companys.

The film, by German director Gereon Wetzel, shows the process of creating dishes that Ferran Adrià has offered to customers over the years in his award winning restaurant, El Bulli.

Catalan Cinema is recognised with three awards at the festival, including the Special Jury Prize for 'Elisa K' and the Best Photography Prize for 'Aita'.

The director talks with CNA about her new documentary film and announces an upcoming fiction project, although no further details were unveiled.
