Eight-year-old Wins Best Actress Award at Berlin Film Festival

On Saturday an eight-year-old Spanish girl, Sofia Otero, won the best acting prize at the Berlin Film Festival for her role in the film “20,000 Species of Bees”.

In the feature debut by Spanish director Estibaliz Urresola Solaguren, Otero plays a nine-year-old child who was born a boy but who considers herself a girl. Director Urresola Solaguren said it was important for her to pick a girl to play the role and not a boy. “It is easier for her. She’s a really intelligent girl,” she said.

Collecting the prize, Otero fought back tears, later telling journalists that she was “very happy” to have won. “I want to dedicate my life to acting,” she added. Certainly, she has made a great start, a win by such a young actor is quite rare.

Germany’s Culture Minister Claudia Roth singled Otero out for a special congratulations for her “deeply moving portrayal of a trans child”.

The film “is a passionate plea against discrimination and for tolerance, openness and equality, especially through Sofia Otero’s interpretation,” she said.

Gender and identity issues were the focus of several films awarded at the festival on Saturday.

The prize for best supporting performance was awarded to Austrian transgender actress Thea Ehre for “Till the End of the Night”.
