The VI Saraqusta Film Festival strengthens its international projection in Los Angeles

Raquel Laguna/ SUCOPRESS. The Saraqusta Film Festival is strengthening its growing international projection with the presentation of the festival in Los Angeles (California), where the Instituto Cervantes of Los Angeles was honored with a Golden Dragon Award for its support in promoting Spanish culture. This event marks a milestone in the trajectory of the Zaragoza International History Film and Series Festival, which aims to reinforce its brand beyond Europe, building on its singular identity as one of the few festivals in the world dedicated exclusively to the historical genre. The event took place at the headquarters of the Instituto Cervantes of Los Angeles (California) and featured the participation of festival director José Ángel Delgado; the Consul General of Spain in Los Angeles, Gerardo Fueyo; the Head of Cultural Activities at the Instituto Cervantes of Los Angeles, Gonzalo del Puerto, and Spanish actress based in California Marian Aguilera. The presentation was also supported by the Aragón Film Commission and Alimentos de Aragón. The occasion was used to present a Golden Dragon Award, the festival’s highest honor, to the Instituto Cervantes of Los Angeles “in recognition of its work promoting the Spanish language, culture and, in particular, cinema.” The award was presented by actress Marian Aguilera. Aguilera, currently based in Los Angeles, has appeared in historical films such as La Ciudad de los Prodigios (1999) and El prado de las estrellas (2007), both directed by Mario Camus. The award was accepted on behalf of the Instituto Cervantes of Los Angeles by Gonzalo del Puerto, Head of Cultural Activities at the institution. The rules and regulations for participating in the 6th edition of the Saraqusta Film Festival are available on the official website (https://saraqustafilmfestival.com/). Participation is open to Spanish and international audiovisual works, both live-action and animated, that address the historical genre or whose theme, context or setting is historical or refers to a past era. The deadline for submissions is February 20th, 2026.
