«Pordentro», among the 15 live-action shorts shortlisted for the Goyas

«Pordentro», the Alicante short film directed by Álvaro G. Company and Mario Hernández, is among the 15 live-action shorts that the Spanish Film Academy has put on its list for the 2027 Goya Awards.

The film tells the story of Elías, a man who has spent eighty years trapped in a life that never felt like his own, and explores gender identity in old age. It stars Ramón Barea and Lorena López, and is produced by Acords Films, Aliwood Mediterráneo Producciones and Publicis Rebellion.

In around six months it has picked up more than 100 festival selections and more than 50 awards, at festivals such as Huesca, Mecal (Barcelona) and Out on Film (Atlanta), and closer to home at the Alicante Film Festival and the l'Alfàs del Pi festival.

“Being among the 15 shortlisted for the Goyas is a huge boost for the whole team,” Álvaro G. Company told Alicante Plaza.

Academy members will now vote on which shorts are nominated. The 41st Goya Awards ceremony will take place in Navarre on 6 February 2027.

At Alicante Light Film we wish the team the best of luck. You can see the full list on the Spanish Film Academy website (in Spanish).
