FERNANDO CORTIZO

THE DIRECTOR

Fernando Cortizo is a distinguished film director of recognized talent. His work in animated films is well regarded, and he is further known for his documentaries and scriptwriting.

His animation stereoscopic feature film “O Apóstolo” won like six “Mestre Mateo” awards from the Academia Gallega, was nominated for a Goya , the Spanish Academy Awards, and was pre-selected for the Oscars. This film also received the Audience Award at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival and many other international awards.

His latest documentary, “Terry’s Way,” follows NBA player Terry Porter on the road to Santiago in an effort to raise funds for a worthy charity and, at the same time, share the inspiring experience of the St. James Way.

In SHKID he combines his two passions, the animation and the documentary, to deal with a story in which he has been immersed for several years, since his young son participated as an actor in the performance of the Brundibar opera.

In that representation he met and was able to interview the survivor Dagmar Lievlová. Since then he has been deepening and investigating everything that happened in that the Terezín Ghetto Camp until making the script of the film that we present here. In his own words: “Everything that is remembered never dies, and the short lives and great works of all those children must remain in the memory and be an inspiration for the generations to come”
