'Alcarràs' will represent Spain in the race towards the 2023 Oscars

After winning the Golden Bear in Berlin, the film Alcarras directed by Carla Simón could be eligible for the next edition of the Oscars when the Film Academy chooses it as a candidate for Spain.

The film has thus prevailed over the other candidates: The Beasts, the new film by Rodrigo Sorogoyen (Riot Police, The Kingdom) y five little wolves, the feature debut of Alauda Ruiz de Azúa. The actress Carmen Maura has been responsible for opening the Notary's envelope with the name of the candidate film.

Alcarras gives Carla Simón a chance again for winning an Oscar just five years after her previous film, Summer 1993, was also sent as a representative of Spain to the Hollywood Academy.

The Spanish film will now fight to position itself as a finalist along with other international works such as the German All quiet on the front or the south korean Decision to leave.

In Alcarras, Simón immerses us in a universe that he knows well thanks to his family, an area of ​​peach trees in Lleida that until now has lived off of agriculture, but in which the trees are giving way to solar panels.
