Javier Cámara discovers his monolith on the Paseo Marítimo
This Monday, the actor will collect his Málaga-SUR award from the 27th Malaga Festival at the gala.
This Monday, Malaga's seafront promenade adds a new monolith to its collection of honoured with that of actor Javier Cámara, who will receive the Malaga-SUR Award at tonight's gala.
The interpreter from La Rioja unveiled the plaque to applause and cheers, joined by the mayor of Malaga, Francisco de la Torre; the councillor for culture and historical heritage, Mariana Pineda; the editor-in-chief of Diario SUR, Ana Pérez-Bryan, and the director of the Malaga Festival, Juan Antonio Vigar.
With this monolith, the festival wants to pay tribute to Cámara's impeccable career in the world of film, television, as well as in theatre, since he has been dedicated to this profession for more than three decades.
He debuted in 1991 with the play 'El Caballero de Olmedo', by Lope de Vega, and two years later he made the leap to cinema with 'Rosa Rosae', by Fernando Colomo. On television, he started out in the series 'Ay Señor, Señor!', but he became definitively known for his role in '7 Vidas'.
He boasts two Goya awards, for best male supporting performance for 'Truman', by Cesc Gay, and best male lead performance for 'Vivir es fácil con los ojos cerrados', directed by director David Trueba. The Riojan already knows what it's like to receive an award in Malaga, since he has won the Biznaga de Plata Award for Best Actor on two occasions: in 2003 for 'Torremolinos 73', by Pablo Berger, and in 2008 for 'Fuera de carta', by Nacho G. Velilla.
For all these reasons, at the 27th edition of the Malaga Festival, the actor will collect the Málaga-SUR Award at tonight's gala, which rewards professionals with a long and distinctive cinematographic career.
