Fernando Méndez-Leite seeks re-election as president of Spain's Film Academy

Fernando Méndez-Leite is running for another term as president of the Spanish Film Academy, with elections scheduled for June 20. His new candidacy includes producer Félix Tusell Sánchez as first vice-president and actress Ángela Cervantes as second vice-president. Previously, Méndez-Leite served alongside producer Rafa Portela and actress Susi Sánchez in those roles. The deadline for submitting candidacies is May 20, one month before the vote. In-person voting will take place at the Academy's headquarters during a General Assembly. Méndez-Leite has held the presidency for four years. The article also references a documentary's potential political impact, questioning whether films can influence elections, though this is not directly tied to the Academy election.
