Veteran Juan Mariné [1920- ], a historian of Spanish cinema as director of photography and camera restorer and film researcher at the National Filmoteca, will receive the Goya de Honor 2024 on February 10, 2024.

His extensive filmography features such as early movies filmed in Almeria as 'The Call of Africa' (1952) and 'The Astronaut' (1970), which left us that iconic image of Tony Leblanc "mooning" in the desert of Tabernas. Mariné also was the cinematographer on two Spaghetti westerns; “Legacy of the Incas” in 1969 and “When the Devil Grips a Colt” in 1972.

The object of several documentaries, this essential figure of audiovisual heritage has pending the premiere of “Juan Mariné. A Century of Cinema”, documentary film written and directed by María Luisa Pujol endorsed by the Aula de Cine Foundation Josep M. Queraltó Collection, of which Mariné is one of its Honorary Patrons.
