"Lo que siembras" (What you sow)

The short film chosen in this edition to compose its soundtrack is a story full of emotions and feelings that represents the values of the Gil family, values such as tradition and the fact that the important thing is to be able to be part of a family even if you were not born into it. The title also refers to the popular saying that "what you sow, you reap", and the main character reaps what he has sown in life.

The short film was selected from a previous script competition in collaboration with the ESCAC (Escola Superior de Cinema i Audiovisuals de Catalunya) and produced by the same with a team made up entirely of students and graduates of the school.

We are land, we are culture. Gil Soundtrack Award is a commitment to continue supporting young musical and cinematographic talent.

Alejandro Amenábar President of the Jury

Alejandro Amenábar, winner of an Oscar and 7 Goyas, filmmaker and composer of film soundtracks, is the president of a jury of exceptional quality. As in previous editions, the jury is made up of renowned and award-winning professionals in symphony orchestra conducting, soundtrack composition, film and music production and distribution at national and international level, as well as a member of the founding family of Viñas Familia Gil, organisers of the competition.
In previous editions the jury has counted with great international figures such as the Scottish composer Patrick Doyle, the American composer Bruce Broughton or the Icelandic composer and cellist Hildur Guðnadóttir, winner of an Oscar for the film "Joker".
