What are the Gaudí Awards?

The Gaudí Awards are an initiative of the College of Film Directors of Catalonia, from the Barcelona Awards.

The Catalan Film Academy organizes and awards the prizes annually in order to disseminate and promote the best films, artists and technicians in the Catalan film industry.

Its main objective is to equip them with the prestige and seal of other similar prizes existing in Europe and around the world, promoting them through the Academy, which is the institution that brings together professionals from the sector, academics, who will vote and decide the annual awards.
