Sergio Moure de Oteyza expressed his gratitude for this award, saying that the prize “is a turning point in my career; I have been composing for film and television for 20 years, and that encourages me to keep going forward”. The composer believes that festivals like the OUFFshould serve as a window to give visibility to the world of cinema. They should serve as a showcase, now more than ever”.
