About us

Morena Films was founded in 1999 with the objective of producing innovative, high-quality content aimed specifically at the international market. Since then we have produced close to a hundred projects between feature films, documentaries, animated works and TV series with directors such as Asghar Farhadi, Oliver Stone, Icíar Bollaín, Steven Soderbergh, Carlos Saura, Javier Fesser, Pablo Trapero and Daniel Calparsoro, to name just a few.

Our films have been entered at the most prestigious film festivals and have garnered both national and international awards & recognition. They include: Everybody knows  (Asghar Farhadi, 2018) that inaugurated the 71st edition of Cannes Film FestivalEven the Rain (I. Bollaín, 2010), which was nominated at the Toronto Film Festival, won the People’s Choice award at Berlinale, represented Spain at the Oscars (2011) and received the Silread Ariel for best Latin American film, as well as three Goya Awards in 2011; Cell 211 (D. Monzón, 2009), nominated for 16 Goya Awards in 2010, winning eight including Best Film; Submergence (Wim Wenders, 2017) which was the San Sebastian Film Festivalopening movie and was selected for Toronto International Film Festival; and Che and Che: Part II (S. Soderbergh, 2008), the two films that tell the life of Che Guevara, for which Benicio del Toro won Best Male Actor at the Cannes Film Festival in 2008.

Morena Films has also produced quality series. Some of his most recent titles include Diablero (Netflix, 2019), Diarios de la Cuarentena (TVE, 2020) or Relatos Con-fin-a-dos (Amazon, 2020); among other.

On the other hand, Morena Films has produced different documentaries that have been presented in some of the most important Festivals on the international scene. As a matter of fact, Sons of the Clouds (A. Longoria, 2012), a documentary on the Saharan conflict, produced and presented by Javier Bardem, was awarded the Goya Award for Best Documentary in 2013, as well as being featured at major film festivals in San Sebastián, Havana, Moscow and Berlin; The Propaganda Game (Álvaro Longoria, 2016), was nominated for the Goya Awards in 2016 and participated in San Sebastian Film Festival receiving the medal for the best documentary granted by the Cinema Writers Circle.

Moreover, our movies also have clear commercial ambitions. Two of our films, Champions(Javier Fesser, 2018) and Cell 211 (Daniel Monzón, 2009) are two of the twenty biggest blockbusters of the Spanish history; To steal from a Thief (Daniel Calparsoro, 2016) occupied the fourth position in the 2016 Blockbuster ranking; our last production; Everybody knows (Asghar Farhadi, 2018), that will be launched in Spain the 14thof September 2018, was released in France closely reaching the 700.000 spectators, a big success for a Spanish movie.

In addition to creative output, Morena provides production services to foreign companies interested in filming in Spain. We have been involved in productions like There be Dragons, directed by Roland Joffe (La Misión), and the Canadian TV series The Queen of Swords.

Green Goals

The purpose of Morena Films is to do great audiovisual projects. But we want to do so without damaging our planet. That’s why we keep working to improve sustainability in our productions. In 2017 we created our first “Green Protocol” and started implementing sustainability measures in all our productions.

Now, we are joining the UN Climate Neutral Now program and want to go one step further. We will continue to identify the main/first sources of environmental impact, quantify our emissions and implement specific actions to minimize this impact. But we are also committed to compensating for the carbon footprint generated in our filmings by restoring the CO2 impact caused. With all these measures, at Morena Films, we want to contribute to making a more sustainable world and reaching the global climate neutrality goals set by the 2030 Agenda.
