La Bola Negra will be honored with the International Star Award at the Palm Springs International Film Awards.
Directors Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi, along with actors Guitarricadelafuente, Miguel Bernardeau, and Penélope Cruz, are expected to attend the Film Awards, which will take place on January 7, 2027, at the Palm Springs Convention Center, with the festival running January 7-18, 2027.
A bold tapestry spanning nearly a century of Spanish history, La Bola Negra tells the story of three generations of men whose lives are intimately connected through desire, pain, and love in this celebrated film from Cannes-winning directors Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi.
Directed by Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi, the film stars Guitarricadelafuente, Miguel Bernardeau, Carlos González, Milo Quifes, Lola Dueñas, Julio Torres, Penélope Cruz and Glenn Close.
La Bola Negra has won 16 Audience Awards at film festivals, including top honors at the Toronto International Film Festival and BFI London Film Festival. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, where it received a 20-minute standing ovation and earned Calvo and Ambrossi the Best Director prize.
“With La Bola Negra, Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi have created a beautiful and moving film that brings together stories across generations and cultures,” said Festival Chairman Nachhattar Singh Chandi. “Guitarricadelafuente brings such honesty and heart to his first film role, joined by Miguel Bernardeau as the film’s emotional anchor and Penélope Cruz in an unforgettable turn as Nené. We are delighted to recognize the talent and hard work that went into bringing this special film to life and to honor La Bola Negra with the International Star Award at the Palm Springs International Film Awards.”
La Bola Negra joins this year’s honorees, including Seth Rogen, Olivia Wilde, Penélope Cruz, Edward Norton (Vanguard Award); Inde Navarette (Rising Star Award); and Martin McDonagh (Outstanding Achievement in Directing Award).
Last year’s recipient of the International Star Award was the cast of Sentimental Value (Renate Reinsve, Stellan Skarsgård, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleas, and Elle Fanning), and the full cast was nominated for the Academy Awards.
