5 wins & 3 nominations
- 2011 Winner Talent Tape AwardFor a film made with few resources, but with pleasing freedom, that mixes realities and fiction, irony and seriousness, isolation and universalism.
- 2010 Winner Cipputi AwardBy imperceptibly mixing reality and fiction in an original narrative structure with great emotional impact, Cordón portrays the true story of a marimba musician who is touching in his tenacity and his ability to adapt. Since the ancient Guatemalan instrument's traditional use is in free-fall and the public wants rock, Don Alfonso turns his instrument to rock. The story presents a masterly mixture of drama and humor and becomes a paradigm of how the transformation of work is changing so many professions: "where the outcome is uncertain but maybe there are other ways to keep on living."
