This year's edition is marked by two clear trends: the dominance of Basque productions and a recurring theme of spirituality. The film Los domingos, directed by Alauda Ruiz de Azúa, leads with 13 nominations, followed by Oliver Laxe's Sirat, which has 11 nominations and is Spain's official entry for the Oscars.

Catalan cinema maintains a strong presence in the main categories. Carla Simón, with Romería, and Albert Serra, with the documentary Tardes de soledad, are competing for Best Director. Additionally, emerging talents like Jaime Claret Muixart and Gemma Blasco are vying for the Best New Director award.

Beyond the high-profile titles, productions such as Maspalomas, Sorda, and Los Tortuga explore deep social issues ranging from sexual identity to immigration and motherhood. The ceremony in Barcelona will reveal if international success translates into recognition from the Film Academy.
