In the festival’s 40 editions since 1971, the Prize of Honour has been bestowed on four occasions upon a prominent figure from the Catalan cinema in recognition for his contribution to the festival: Tomàs Mallol (amateur filmmaker), Josep Parra (co-founder of the festival), Joan Vidal (co-founder of the festival and president of the jury in 2014) and Roland Nguyen (France 3 – France Télévisions).
This year, FILMETS Badalona Film Festival will give the Prize of Honour to the Televisió de Catalunya TV programme CINEMA 3, hosted and directed by Jaume Figueras. CINEMA 3 will receive the prize of honour on the occasion of its 30th anniversary, for its support and dissemination of short films and Catalan film festivals and for its importance as a cultural touchstone in our country.
