ASECAN Awards (Spanish: Premios ASECAN del Cine Andaluz) are annual film and audiovisual awards granted by the Association of Andalusian Film Writers (ASECAN), a cultural organisation founded on 15 September 1982. The awards have been presented continuously since 1983 and are widely regarded as the most important distinctions dedicated to Andalusian cinema and audiovisual production.[1][2]
ASECAN is composed of journalists, film critics, screenwriters and writers either born in or professionally linked to Andalusia. It was the first association of film writers established in Spain, preceding similar organisations in Catalonia and Madrid, and has played a key role in the critical and cultural consolidation of Andalusian cinema.[3][4]
History
The first ASECAN Awards were held in 1983, during a period of artistic renewal in Spanish cinema. From their inception, the awards have aimed to recognise, through the vote of ASECAN members, the most outstanding films and professionals of each year, both within Andalusian cinema and in Spanish and international production.[5]
Throughout the decades, the awards have evolved alongside changes in the audiovisual industry. Originally focused on feature films, they progressively incorporated categories recognising television productions, documentaries, short films, technical and artistic contributions, film journalism and books on cinema, reflecting a broad and inclusive understanding of audiovisual culture.[6]
Categories
As of 2025, the ASECAN Awards include competitive categories such as:
- Best Andalusian Film
- Direction
- Screenplay
- Actor and Actress
- Technical and Artistic Contribution
- Documentary
- Short Film
- Television Series and Programmes
- Film Promotion and Dissemination
- Film Journalism
- Book on Cinema
In addition, ASECAN grants the ASECAN Honor Award to individuals or institutions with an outstanding career in Andalusian audiovisual culture.
Recent editions
37th edition (2024)
The 37th ASECAN Awards ceremony took place in December 2024 in Seville. The award for Best Andalusian Film was granted ex aequo to Solos en la noche, directed by Guillermo Rojas, and La infiltrada, directed by Arantxa Echevarría.[7][8]
The nominations for this edition highlighted the growing presence of television series and streaming productions within the Andalusian audiovisual landscape, confirming a trend already observed in previous editions.[9]
Honor awards
The ASECAN Honor Award recognises lifetime achievement and exceptional contributions to Andalusian cinema. Among recent recipients is the Andalusian actor Antonio de la Torre, who was honoured in 2023 for his overall contribution to Spanish and Andalusian cinema.[10][11]
Previous honourees include directors Carlos Saura and Miguel Picazo, actors such as Antoñita Colomé and Juan Diego, and cultural institutions like the Andalusian Film Archive, reflecting the diversity of professional profiles recognised by the association.[12]
Cultural significance
The ASECAN Awards are regarded as a key reference point within Andalusian cultural life. Films and professionals recognised by ASECAN frequently gain increased visibility at national film festivals and award ceremonies, contributing to the promotion of Andalusian cinema within Spain and internationally.[13][14]
