Angeles Cruz’s “Valentina or the Serenity” Named Best Picture at Huelva Ibero-American Film Festival

Angeles Cruz is celebrating a big win…

The 54-year-old Mexican actress, film director and screenwriter’s Valentina or the Serenity claimed the best picture award in a high-caliber main competition at this year’s Huelva Ibero-American Film Festival.

Angeles CruzThe film by the fast-emerging Mexican auteur, delivering knowing and cross.grained takes on life in Mixtec communities, also picked up the best actress awards for Myriam Bravo.

Best actor went to Money Heist star Rodolfo de la Serna for his weighty turn in Paramount Television Intl. Studios’ The Rescue.

Cruz’s win underscored the focus and value of Huelva. Despite funding challenges, Latin America’s big three – Mexico, Brazil and Argentina – alone produced 660 features in 2022. It is simply impossible for the media to pay sufficient attention to all but a highly select clutch of top titles.

“Ibero-American cinema is constantly evolving. Now, it is very easy to find great films, if not in budgetary terms, then in artistic ambitions,” Huelva director Manuel H. Martin told Variety in the run-up to the festival. Valentina played Toronto and Mexico. Despite that, it deserves far more attention.

Valentina or the Serenity, Angeles CruzTitles, moreover, buck cliché and expectations. Valentina turns on a young Mixtec girl’s attempt to process her father’s death, which runs from guilt and denial to final remembrance. Critics’ consensus, to the extent that it has received reviews, is that the final effect is an entertaining film.

Huelva’s Audience Award winner La Suprema, from Colombia’s Felipe Holguín, is set in a dirt poor hamlet off the Caribbean coast. That said, it delivers a heart warming ode to community solidarity as the villagers rally round to fufill a long girl’s dream.

Here’s a look at this year’s winners:
