I was wondering who producer they gave the award and it was Netflix. I had forgotten Netflix but, of course, they are the “distributor” in Spain,

Did it win the prize for a particular category, or was it the overall winner? It’s not clear to me (especially since I don’t speak Spanish!)

It is a parallel award to the main festival. The film isn’t competing in the main category. It was included in a special line-up of acclaimed films from other festivals but it still could win an audience award like at TIFF. LGBT parallel awards are common in European festivals. I think the most popular is the Teddy Bear at Berlinale. TPOTD was nominated to the Queer Lion at Venice but lost to an out of competition film called La dernière séance but it now won at San Sebastián! They are awarding the best film, according to a special LGBT jury, in any section of the festival with a LGBT theme. They announced the nominees with this video and there are a few of acclaimed films there like Benediction or the polemic Benedetta but it won Benedict! *Bad joke* EDITED Here is the Wikipedia entry about the award, en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebastiane_AwardAll these awards were based on the one from Berlin. The Teddy Award was revolutionary. They were founded at the end of the 1980s during the AIDS pandemic. This one is the oldest of the rest. It’s from 2000. I’m seeing that the Queer Lion is from 2007 and the Queer Palm (Cannes) was founded very recently in 2010.

She is a film critic, I checked her site but there isn’t a TPOTD review. There are a lot from other San Sebastián films but not TPOTD. I guess they are waiting for the official release.
