Juan José Campanella to receive Lifetime Achievement Award at Rose d’Or Latinos and deliver keynote at Content Americas
Celebrated Argentinian screenwriter, director and producer Juan José Campanella will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at the third edition of the Rose d’Or Latinos, taking place in Miami as part of Content Americas 2026.
Campanella will also deliver a keynote at the event, where he will share insights into his creative mission, current projects and the evolving audiovisual landscape.

His film credits include Same Love, Same Rain (1999), Son of the Bride (2001), Moon of Avellaneda (2004) and the Academy Award-winning The Secret in Their Eyes, which took home the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 2010.

On the TV side, he has directed episodes of major US series such as Law & Order: SVU, House and 30 Rock, as well as the pilots of Halt & Catch Fire, Night Sky and Colony, on which he also served as executive producer during season two.

Most recently, Campanella wrote, directed and produced The Envoys, starring Miguel Ángel Silvestre and Luis Gerardo Méndez for Paramount+, while he is currently in post on the Netflix feature Parque Lezama. Both projects were produced through his company 100 Bares.

He is also the founder of animation studio Mundoloco CGI, which is behind the film Underdogs, preschool series Mini Beat Power Rockers and Netflix’s upcoming animated adaptation of the iconic Argentinian comic strip Mafalda.

Campanella said: “It’s already a privilege to make a living doing something I’d gladly do for free, to connect with my fellow countrymen on an emotional level only art can reach and to see stories born in Buenos Aires travel the world. But, on top of all that, receiving an honour like this feels like a heartfelt gesture, a true gift.

“It’s not just a personal recognition, it’s a powerful push to keep going at a time when our industry is facing seismic shifts and it’s easy to wonder if one still has the energy to clear a path forward. I’m incredibly grateful for this timely encouragement.”

Previous recipients of the Rose d’Or Latinos Lifetime Achievement Award include Argentinian creator and producer Cris Morena and Mexican actor and producer Eugenio Derbez.

Submissions are now open for the 2026 edition of the Rose d’Or Latinos, which celebrates the best Spanish- and Portuguese-language content across 14 categories. The deadline is October 6, 2025, and eligible titles must have aired between July 1, 2024, and October 6, 2025.
