Maruja Torres awarded 2027 Feroz Honor Prize

Journalist and writer Maruja Torres has been named the recipient of the 2027 Feroz Honor Prize. The award will be presented during a gala in Pontevedra on Saturday, January 23.

The Association of Film Informers of Spain (AICE) described the selection as a prize for a “ferocious woman,” highlighting Torres’s multifaceted career as a journalist, novelist, war correspondent, screenwriter, and critic. The organizing committee noted that her work in journalism and film serves as an ethical and political stance, characterizing her as a filmmaker through her critical lens rather than just a film enthusiast.

Torres is the first journalist to receive this honorary award from AICE. Previous recipients include prominent filmmakers and actors such as Pedro Almodóvar, Victoria Abril, and José Sacristán.
