UO professor wins Imagen Award for short film \u2018La Serenata\u2019 <\/strong><\/a>\/<\/strong> from Around the O<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

August 19, 2019\u2014<\/strong>Ernesto Javier Mart\u00ednez, an associate professor of ethnic studies at the University of Oregon, won a prestigious Imagen Award for a short film he wrote, \u201cLa Serenata.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLa Serenata,\u201d directed by Adelina Anthony, is based on Mart\u00ednez\u2019s children\u2019s book called \u201cCuando Amamos Cantamos,\u201d or \u201cWhen We Love Someone We Sing to Them.\u201d It\u2019s a bilingual book about a boy who loves another boy and about the importance of the Mexican serenata tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Imagen Awards<\/a> have been called the \u201cLatino Golden Globes\u201d and have featured well-known people in the entertainment industry such as Guillermo Del Toro, Salma Hayek and Gina Rodriguez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Winning the Imagen Award for best short film is an enormous honor, in large part because it brings national attention to issues facing Latino families today about how to best care for the queer children in their lives,\u201d Mart\u00ednez said. \u201cIt was also a bit of surprise because Adelina Anthony, the director of La Serenata, won last year\u2019s Imagen Award for best short film as well. We didn\u2019t know if we would win two years in a row.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLa Serenata\u201d has also won the Jury Award for best short film at the 32nd annual Connecticut LGBTQ Film Festival, the Audience Award for best short film at the San Francisco International Women of Color Film Festival, and the Silver Award for best child actor at the Independent Shorts Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
