Carmen Machi Takes the 2026 National Film Prize at San Sebastian

Carmen Machi received the 2026 National Film Prize at the San Sebastian Festival. She is best known for playing Aida in the Spanish series '7 Lives' and its spin-off 'Aida', and for pivotal roles in Almodóvar's 'Talk to Her' and 'Broken Embraces'. The combination is the interesting part: a national film prize going to an actor whose most familiar face was made on television, alongside two films by Almodóvar.
