Cerezo, a Golden President: From the Metropolitano to the Academy
Our president, Enrique Cerezo, has been awarded the Gold Medal of the Film Academy, a well-deserved recognition of his career as a film producer and distributor. Cerezo, always linked to the world of football and cinema, has expressed his joy and gratitude for this award, highlighting the importance of both passions in his life.
Cerezo, a renowned promoter of Spanish cinema, especially comedy, owns an impressive film collection of 11,000 titles, considered one of the largest catalogs worldwide. His work in restoring and distributing classic Spanish films is essential to preserving our cultural heritage, digitizing and fixing much of this cinematic treasure.
The Rojiblanco president has drawn a parallel between the world of football and cinema, pointing out the similarities between players and movie stars. For Cerezo, both areas share the passion and the ability to thrill the public.
His commitment to new productions, along with the preservation of classic cinema, demonstrates his commitment to the seventh art. This award not only celebrates his dedication to cinema, but also his tireless work in the Audiovisual Producers’ Rights Management Entity (EGEDA). Undoubtedly, a well-deserved recognition for a president who continues to bet on art and culture, demonstrating that cinema, like Atleti, will never die!
