Barcelona, January 18, 2025 — El 47 triumphed at the 17th Gaudí Awards, securing the coveted Best Picture prize and seven other awards, solidifying its position as a major success in Catalan cinema. The ceremony took place at the Auditori Fòrum CCIB in Barcelona.
Key Wins for El 47
El 47 dominated the awards, with Eduard Fernandez winning Best Leading Actor and Clara Segura taking Best Supporting Actress. The film also won Best Production Direction, Best Costume Design, Best Makeup and Hairstyling, Best Special Effects, and the Audience Award.
A Story of Struggle and Resilience
Directed by Marcel Barrena, El 47 is set in 1970s Barcelona and portrays the challenges faced by residents of the Torre Baró neighborhood as they fight for basic necessities. The film explores themes of community, resilience, and social justice, apparently resonating with audiences given its €3.3 million box office gross, a record for a Catalan-language film. It was co-written with Alberto Marini and produced by The Mediapro Studio and distributed by A Contracorriente Films.
A Night of Celebration
The Gaudí Awards ceremony, hosted by Marc Clotet and Paula Malia, was a glamorous affair. Eduard Fernández’s acceptance speech reportedly highlighted social justice themes, mirroring the film’s central message. Other notable wins included “Polvo Serán” for Best Non-Catalan Language Film, along with multiple awards for “Casa en flames” and “Segundo premio”. “Salve Maria” and “Un lugar común” also secured awards.
Other Nominees and Future Impact
Further information on other nominees is forthcoming. El 47‘s success may position it as a strong contender for Spain’s Goya Awards and suggests a potential surge in socially conscious narratives within Catalan cinema.
