The 39th edition of the Goya Awards will be held on February 8, 2025 at the Granada Exhibition and Congress Palace. This was announced on Wednesday by the president of the Film Academy, Fernando Méndez-Leite, and the mayor of the city, Marifrán Carazo, who were also accompanied by the vice president of the institution, Rafael Portela, and the city councilors for the Presidency and Culture, Jorge Saavedra and Juan Ramón Ferreira.
“It is very exciting to kick off a new edition of the Goya Awards in a city as emblematic and unique as Granada, which will surely turn out for our gala with the same excitement as the first times,” said the president of the Academy, who thanked the mayor and the city “for their determined commitment” to host the 2025 Goya ceremony. “Our films and those who make them possible will be the protagonists of a selection of events – exhibitions, screenings of nominated films, meetings, educational activities – that will be held here during these 10 months that separate us from what will be our big night,” Méndez-Leite stressed.
“This means that in our city we are going to live in a very special way all these months leading up to the big day. There are a multitude of events that we are preparing to celebrate this gala as it deserves and also for the whole city to enjoy it,” stressed the mayor.
Marifrán Carazo also highlighted that “Granada is immersed in an exciting cultural project, we are working on our candidacy as European City of Culture for 2031 and there the cinema and the great stages it offers are going to be very present, hence the importance of the audiovisual arts in all their manifestations.”
The next edition of the Goya Awards will be the eighth in history in which the gala is held outside Madrid. So far, the Goyas have traveled to Barcelona, Malaga, Valencia, Seville and Valladolid.
