Argentine Camila Plaate, Platinum Cast Award for ‘Belén’, attacks the “sellers”: “They will never succeed”

“This film comes to remind us that life is made with courage, with bravery, with love and with fight. Traitors and traitors will never triumph, that we are all going to die and they have a sad death assured. We carry the memory on our skin, in our heads,” said the actress when collecting the award during the opening ceremony of the Platinos Xcaret Awards, in which 21 categories have been awarded, the majority of a technical nature of the 35 will be awarded this Saturday.

The actress recalled that May 7 was Eva Perón’s birthday and highlighted a phrase from the Argentine first lady: “With the ashes of the traitors we will build the homeland of the most humble.” “Every day we are fighting to make this happen,” he indicated. The actress closed her speech by proclaiming a world “with more peace and freer” and “Free Palestine.”

At this ceremony, the Platinum Casting Award was also presented to actor Álvaro Cervantes, for his role in ‘Sorda’, who has shown his “special enthusiasm” for the recognition, while highlighting the learning that the project has meant for him. “It’s a film that has taught me a lot,” he said. Likewise, he has claimed accessibility in audiovisuals. “For subtitled cinema accessible to everyone because it is a right,” he assured.

The event included the participation of the president of EGEDA, Enrique Cerezo, who highlighted that the Platino Awards were born with the vocation of “putting Ibero-American stories in common and valuing” and that during its thirteen editions they have demonstrated “the excellent talent that unites the 23 countries.”

“Our cinema is the result of the sum of artistic views and sensibilities and a dedication that often takes place far from the spotlight and the cameras,” he commented.
