The municipality of Tres Cantos is preparing for an emotional tribute to the renowned actress Gemma Cuervo, which will take place on April 18 during the 'Tres Cantos de Cine' gala, a central event of the town's 5th Short Film Festival.

The city will transform into a true cinematic setting to remember the extensive career of one of the most prominent figures in acting in Spain. Gemma Cuervo's legacy in cinema, theater, and television remains very much alive, serving as a reference for several generations.
This recognition, framed as one of the main acts of the festival, will be held at the Municipal Theater of the Adolfo Suárez Cultural Center. The gala will feature a red carpet, photocall, and the awards ceremony for the best short films, adding a touch of glamour to the event.

The actress's figure will be remembered as a symbol of a generation of performers who marked the recent history of audiovisual media in Spain, with a consolidated career in both theater and on the small and big screen.

The tribute not only seeks to value her artistic contribution but also her impact on cultural development and her influence on new generations of actors and actresses. The presence of her daughter, Cayetana Guillén Cuervo, who will chair the festival's jury, will add a particularly emotional component to the evening.
An intimate and close remembrance of Gemma Cuervo is expected, in an event that will bring together audiovisual professionals, local authorities, and residents of the municipality. The event will have free access until full capacity is reached, consolidating its position as an essential date in Tres Cantos' cultural program.
