PREMIO SIGNIS
(OFFICIAL SECTION)
A portrait of the wishes of simple people from different social,
racial and cultural extraction, looking for love and fullness
in their lives between encounters and separations, along the
journey of their existence. The directors show love and tenderness
for all their characters.
COMMENDATION TO
(ZABALTEGI)
Is a simple but at he same time a profound movie portraying
in a natural and poetical way the everyday hard life of a Mongolian
nomad family with unbelievable sweet pigtail children who throw
their arms around cute dogs and live in carefree way through
the endlessly vast countryside. It reminds us with strength
of other important values for the mankind

cicae
The 2005’s CICAE jury of San Sebastian’s International
film festival, has decided unanimously to attribute the prize
for The best first european film to Alex, directed by José
Alcala, France.
Indeed, he realizes a first film full of humility, humanity
where interpreters give to their characters the realism of a
difficult social reality, out of any ostentation.
For the universality of the subject, because it shows Alex’s
struggle, to reach the happiness and an emocional stability,
that´s why our protagonist invests all her efforts.

2005 CEC Award for Best Film
53st Donostia-San Sebastian International Film Festival
Donostia-San Sebastian, 23 September 2005
For another year, the Círculo de Escritores Cinematográficos
(CEC) has been present at the Donostia-San Sebastian International
Film Festival with its traditional Award for Best Film. All
of the films competing in the Official Section were eligible
for this award.
Founded in 1943, the CEC is one of the oldest cinematographic
institutions in Spain, consisting of over a hundred film critics
and screenwriters. Its activities are aimed at promoting cinema,
especially Spanish cinema, and include the presentation of its
prestigious annual awards to Spanish films, the organisation
of tributes, film seasons and conferences, collaboration with
other institutions and the promotion of the publication of specialized
books.
As at the last Festivals, the CEC has invited all of the Spanish
journalists accredited at the Festival —whether CEC members
or not— to join the jury of its award for best film.
Having counted the votes, the Círculo de Escritores Cinematográficos’
Award for Best Film goes to:
JE
NE SUIS PAS LÀ POUR ETRÊ AIMÉ,
by Stéphane Brizé.

Guipuzcoan Blood-Donors’ Association
corresponding to the Solidarity Award / Elkartasun Saria
The quality of the films in competition at the 53rd edition
of the Donostia-San Sebastian International Film Festival is
without question in terms of cinematic quality, art, content
and form. However, this is not the case in terms of solidarity,
a value which is clearly lacking in the films presented in this
year’s competition. In these circumstances, the Jury of
the “Guipuzcoan Blood-Donors’ Association
corresponding to the Solidarity Award / Elkartasun Saria”,
whose purpose is to award a prize to the movie which to the
greatest extent promotes and highlights the human values
that prompt the individual to act in solidarity, with self-sacrificing
altruism, without expecting anything in return, has
agreed to:
declare the award void in the 53rd edition
Donostia-San Sebastian, 23 September 2005
The Jury of the Guipuzcoan Blood-Donors’ Association
corresponding to the Solidarity Award/Elkartasun Saria consisted
of the following members:
- Mr. Jose Manuel Cárdenas. Manager of the Guipuzcoan
Blood Bank.
- Mr. Sabin Urcelay. Chairman of the Guipuzcoan Blood Donors’
Association.
- Ms. Txaro Arteaga. Former Director of the Basque Women’s
Institute, EMAKUNDE.
- Mr. Juan Carlos Redondo. General Manager of Zihurko.
- Ms. Ainhoa Furundarena. Treasurer of the Guipuzcoan Blood
Donors’ Association.
- Mr Mikel Bernués. Collaborator of the Guipuzcoan

of the Basque Country represented through a jury composed with
some of its own members: Encarna Suárez, Alex Godard,
Mikel Garayar, Sofia Arsuaga, Eñaut Otazo, Lara Mintegiaga,
Jose Luís Pérez, Alejandro Ochoa y Pablo Larraya
wants to award its SEBASTIAN 2005 prize at
MALAS
TEMPORADAS, directed by MANUEL MARTIN CUENCA for
integrating beyond clichés an homosexual love story inside
a bad times context that main characters have to face.
In spite of the hardness that characterize life and death matters
that face leading actors the end convey a message of hope thanks
to the capacity of overcoming those MALAS TEMPORADAS ( bad times).
Special mention to REBELDES e INSUMISAS’
season for offering delightful films. Without forgetting lesbian
theme it reminded us the fundamental role of women along cinema’s
history
