Marina de Tavira assures that the greatest impact of her Oscar nomination was not at work, but in the perception of her career. The Mexican actress was a candidate for Best Supporting Actress in 2019 for her role in Roma, alongside Yalitza Aparicio.
The real change
Almost eight years after that moment, De Tavira explains that the recognition brought an unprecedented focus on his work.
“It was a crucial moment and a turning point in my career, not because that was why more projects had arrived, but because there was a look. I was already of a certain age when I was nominated and I had done a lot of things, and suddenly that began to have a focus that it had not had before,” he said at a press conference.
For her, awards have never been the goal.
“Recognitions are not something you have in mind when you start working, or when you make a film, or when you decide to be an actress. When they arrive, of course they feel beautiful, but I also recognize that both theater and cinema are collective arts,” she added.
Recognition of The Muse
This year, the Guanajuato International Film Festival and the Women in Cinema and Television association will award her the La Musa award.
“I never imagined that one day I would receive recognition within the framework of this festival and that excites me very much,” he confessed.
Upcoming projects
De Tavira is getting ready for a new work directed by Diego del Río. In addition, I’m Always Your Mother Animal, a film that was presented at Cannes, will continue its tour of international festivals.
