The Cuban dancer Carlos Acosta has just been nominated for the Goya Prize, awarded by the Academy of Arts and Cinematographic Sciences of Spain in its 33rd edition, as Best New Actor for his participation in the film "Yuli", by Catalan filmmaker Icíar Bollaín
The film was distinguished in four other categories: Adapted screenplay (Paul Laverty), Direction of photography (Álex Catalán), Original music (Alberto Iglesias) and Sound (Eva Valiño, Pelayo Gutiérrez and Alberto Ovejero).
"Yuli" is inspired by No Way Home, the biography of Acosta, and tells the story of a mulatto and poor child who, against all odds and even against his own will at the beginning, becomes one of the greatest dancers in the world. The film also features star performances by Laura De la Uz, Santiago Alfonso, Keyvin Martinez, the child Edilson Manuel Olbera, Yerlín Pérez, Andrea Doimeadios and Carlos Enrique Almirante, along with the Dancers of Acosta Danza Company. The choreographies were created by María Rovira and Raúl Reinoso, and the production was in charge of Andrea Calderwood, Claudia Calviño and Juan Gordon.
The award ceremony for the Goya Awards is scheduled for February 2.
