'Timecode', best short at the European Film Awards

Cinema.  Berlin, 11/12/2017

Juanjo Giménez’s film Timecode, which won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Festival for the best short, yesterday picked up the same prize at the European Film Awards ceremony held in Berlin. The short shows the peculiar relationship between two security guards in a car park.




In its 15 minutes, Timecode tells the story of two night watchmen in a car park (played by dancers Lali Ayguadé and Nicholas Ricchini) who pass one another every day to do the night shift. Between them there emerges a relationship of “secrets and discoveries” that is not expressed in words, but in a shared passion that they discover by chance.

The short was produced in 2016 by Nadir Films and ECIR – Escola de Cinema de Reus.

The film has a long history at international festivals, and was nominated for the Oscar for Best Fictional Short
