Summer 1993 (Catalan: Estiu 1993) is a 2017 Catalan-language Spanish drama film directed and written by Carla Simón. The film premiered in the Generation section at the 67th Berlin International Film Festival, where it won the GWFF (Gesellschaft zur Wahrnehmung von Film- und Fernsehrechten) Best First Feature Award. The movie centers around a six year old girl named Frida who is sent to live with her aunt, uncle and cousin during the summer of 1993. It was chosen as the Spanish entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 90th Academy Awards, but in the end it was not nominated for an award.
