Since then we have produced more than fifty feature length 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 Festival; Even 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.

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 also backs quality documentaries. As a matter of fact, Sons of the Clouds (A.

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.
