Yesterday, after the Red Carpet where industry personalities walked, GIFF paid a tribute to the great Mexican actor Dami\u00e1n Alc\u00e1zar at the majestic Ju\u00e1rez Theater in Guanajuato City.<\/span><\/p>\n

A great career has made him carry the spirit of a whole continent. The actor from Michoac\u00e1n was moved to tears after receiving a standing ovation. The audience was not bashful about their appreciation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ceremony was conducted by award-winning Mexican actors Ariel Tenoch Huerta and Ver\u00f3nica Langer. Huerta even recognized that, like many of his fellow actors, Alc\u00e1zar was one of his main inspirations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alc\u00e1zar received from Sarah Hoch, founder and Executive Director of GIFF, the Silver Cross as a tribute for his career that has made him one of the most distinguished faces of Latin American cinema. He also received the Silver Medal from the UNAM Filmoteca, made of pure silver from film processing which is given to people whose career, activities, analysis and interventions in film contribute to enriching all aspects of film heritage.<\/span><\/p>\n

As soon as he received these awards, Alc\u00e1zar expressed his hope towards a better country and the conviction that Latin America is a single nation that borders the United States and ends in the Land of Fire. \u00abAffection keeps us in daily success\u00bb, he said while offering a warm thanks to those who came together to grant him this admiration.<\/span><\/p>\n

To finish off the proceedings, the film <\/span>Satan\u00e1s<\/span><\/i>, from director Andy Baiz was screened: this 2007 Colombian film stars Dami\u00e1n Alc\u00e1zar as an exmilitary who decides to take his misanthropy to the extreme and represents one of many roles the actor has played outside of Mexico.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
