“Cinema will never die”

The actress Ángela Molina, who will receive the Goya of Honor on March 6 at the Malaga gala, has recognized that cinema is “miraculously saving itself” from the coronavirus pandemic and trusts that “it will never die.” “The cinema will never die, at least while those of us who are here are here, and then surely neither,” he detailed.

“We must have great confidence in who we are, we must continue to create and be more united than ever: I trust that maneuvers are being developed to create and the rest is living and trusting,” said the actress in a meeting with the press. Molina will be one of the few winners who will be at the Malaga gala, to which he has already announced that no family member or close person will attend to see how he collects his ‘big head’.

“No one is going to accompany me, because we have to do the best we can,” acknowledged Molina. «They are going to be enjoying it from home. I already received this award with immense joy, I don’t know why when Mariano Barroso (president of the Film Academy) told me, before thanking me, I burst out laughing. I did not expect it and I felt a torrent of very uncontrollable joy, “he explained.

The Goya in pandemic

Precisely, his family members will be very present in his speech – the only one who has anticipated his intervention, since he has not yet chosen the dress. Molina has defended that it will be a Goya Awards “just like the usual ones,” although not everyone who wants to be there will be there. «I believe that it is a question of everything remaining as it really is, of building bridges so that there is no pandemic that prevents us from celebrating the Goya festival, which is, after all, the Spanish film festival and the world “, highlighted the actress.

I have never experienced situations of this kind and I have never had a disagreement with a professional, be it a man or a woman

For example, he has remembered two filmmakers who have marked him after having worked for them: Luis Buñuel and Pedro Almodóvar. «They are both absolutely unique and special and leave an imprint on my memory that is impossible to erase. They are overwhelmingly close, they provoke in you the greatest feelings of gratitude, they are generous and pure like children and they are in love with what they do ”, he stated.

Asked about allegations of abuse of power in Spanish cinema, Molina has indicated that those who denounce “surely need to do it” and has shown “all respect for it.” “But I have never experienced such situations and I have never had a disagreement with a professional, whether man or woman”, he pointed out.

A “Billy Wilder” situation

He has only recalled with humor a “a bit comical” situation with a producer at the beginning of his career, which Molina herself considers “something that was no more than a joke.” «He was a producer who is no longer here, I went to his office and he wanted to make a joke of approaching me and, doing so, he jumped into an armchair and fell. I left at that moment: as a Billy Wilder comedy it would be fine “, he has ironized.

Barroso has also praised Ángela Molina, whom he has described as “an inspiration.” «Angela and the cinema feed each other, something in us is activated when we see her on the screen.
