Javier Cámara Wins the Silver Shell for ‘5 Minutos Más’
Javier Cámara was named Best Supporting Actor at the 74th San Sebastián International Film Festival for his performance in “5 Minutos Más,” an original Movistar Plus film produced by Ikiru Films and El Terrat, written by Berto Romero, and directed by Javier Ruiz Caldera.
In “5 Minutos Más,” Javier Cámara shares the spotlight with Berto Romero and Belén Cuesta in a feature film that marks Berto Romero’s debut as a filmmaker and screenwriter; he also serves as a producer alongside Edmon Roch, Bernat Elías, Javier Méndez, and Movistar Plus.
The recognition in San Sebastián comes just a few days after the film won two awards at Fantastic Fest in Austin (United States), one of the leading international festivals specializing in fantasy, action, and science fiction films. There, “5 Minutos Más” received a Special Mention from the Jury in the Main Competition—the festival’s main section—and the Audience Award.
Javier Ruiz Caldera has established one of the most versatile careers in the Spanish audiovisual scene. His filmography stands out for the freedom with which he blends genres and for the very personal sense of humor that permeates his stories. With “5 Minutos Más,” he once again collaborates with Berto Romero, a frequent creative partner whom he has directed in “El Otro Lado,” “Mira Lo Que Has Hecho,” “Anacleto: agente secreto,” “Tres bodas de más,” and “Wolfgang.”
Rounding out the film’s cast are actors Carlos Bernardino (“Mano de hierro”), Marc Soler (“UPA Next”), Clàudia Melo (“En los márgenes”), Puchi Lagarde (“Galgos”), Tian Tosas (“La última noche en Tremor”), and Nia Tosas (“El mal invisible”).
“5 Minutos Más” hits theaters on January 22, 2027, distributed by Filmax, and following its theatrical release, the film will be available exclusively on Movistar Plus.
