13-09-22
On 9 September, the awards were presented at the 6th edition of the tourism and travel film festival, which was held in Tortosa from 2 to 10 September, event in which the Tourism and Society Think Tank is a partner.
The audiovisual of Andalusia's 2021 tourism campaign, starring actor Antonio Banderas, has won the main prize at the Terres Travel Festival in Tortosa. It is a work entitled No small joy, produced by the agency Proximity BBDO. The audiovisual inspires an inexhaustible source of emotions and focuses on the concept of joy. The award was presented at the closing gala of the sixth edition of the tourism and travel film festival. The event brought together professionals from the sector at the Racó de Mig Camí restaurant in Tortosa and was presented by the actress Ivana Miño.
The French film Dear Plastic - A Toxic Love Story, recognised as Best Film to Promote Sustainability - Terres de l'Ebre, was also among the winners. The film looks at how plastic has revolutionised our lifestyles since the 1950s. Narrated as an intimate love/hate letter to plastic, this film questions our ambiguous relationship with this material.
The Recomencemos Prize awarded by the Terres de l'Ebre Tourist Board went to French director Hamed Oualdi for his film Cannes is Still Standing, in which restaurateurs, hoteliers and tourists sing and dance to the music of Elton John to promote France's second most important tourist destination after Paris. For its part, the documentary by Paco Ortiz and José Carlos Historias del agua has received the Climent Ferrer Prize for the Best Production on the Values of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The film narrates a journey through Spain, passing through the source of the Guadalquivir and its mouth. The journey allows us to search for stories related to water, flora and fauna, traditions and festivals, trades, architecture and history.
Recognition for a whole career
This year, the festival also recognised the career of journalist, producer and film director Jordi Llompart with the Terres Pioneers Award. Llompart has produced and directed films, documentary series for cinema and television and has promoted other innovative IMAX and 3D cinema projects. His latest work includes The Last Wild, a feature-length documentary in which he advocates the recovery of the links between human beings and nature. He has also directed The World of the Fatimids, based on the Fatimid dynasty that controlled North Africa a thousand years ago.

The event brought together 114 films, including documentaries, short films and advertising spots, which were screened in various areas of the Museum of Tortosa, in the modernist premises of the old abattoir.
