The awards ceremony will take place on 10 December in Reykjavík, Iceland, only days before the hit Catalan-language movie will find out if it has been shortlisted for the Oscars.

Alcarràs, which tells the story of the last fruit harvest on a farm in western Catalonia, already won the prestigious Golden Bear at the Berlinale film festival last February.

A Catalan-language movie starring non-professional actors, it is the biggest Catalan box office hit of the year, selling around 300,000 cinema tickets in under a month after its release.
