It has hosted several important events of the history of cinema, such as the international premiers of Vertigo, by Alfred Hitchcock. It was originally intended to honour Spanish language films, films of other languages became eligible for consideration in 1955, when the festival was specialized in color films.
Actors and directors such as Naomi Watts, Ewan McGregor, Julia Roberts, Penelope Cruz, John Travolta, Pedro Almodovar, Demi Moore and Brad Pitt have collaborated in the festival. |
The ceremonyEvery year, the actors and actresses walk around the red carpet wearing beautiful and expensive clothes, while, people shout and pray for autographs or photos with them. Later, normally at night, the ceremony starts in the Kursaal. They deliver the prices: the price of the best actor, the best actress, the best film, the best photograph, the best direction...and so on. They also stay in the Hotel Maria Cristina.
