The Asociación de Informadores Cinematográficos de España ({{literal|Association of Cinematographic Informers of Spain}}; AICE) is an association of entertainment journalists and film and television critics of Spain in television, radio, and online and print media. Created in 2013, it annually bestows the Feroz Awards.
History
AICE was created in 2013 intending to bridge the gap between critics and entertainment journalists, between film and series, and between the digital and non-digital media.{{Cite web|url=https://www.mundiario.com/cineseries/articulo/cine-series/cuantos-periodistas-criticos-dedicados-informar-cine-series-estan-asociados/20220618153100001238.html|website=Mundiario|date=18 June 2022|title=¿Cuántos periodistas y críticos dedicados a informar sobre cine y series están asociados?}} Initially presided by La Razón journalist David Carrón, the association had 160 voting members for the first edition of the Feroz awards.{{Cite web|url=https://efe.com/otras-noticias-espana/2023-01-22/premios-feroz-10-anos/|website=EFE|date=22 January 2023|first=Alicia G.|last=Arribas|title=Los premios Feroz cumplen diez años en su “mirada desafiante” al sistema tradicional}}{{Cite web|url=https://elpais.com/cultura/2013/12/17/actualidad/1387286808_468453.html|website=El País|title=La comedia española del cine lidera la primera edición de los Premios Feroz|first=Alfonso|last=Álvarez-Dardet|date=17 December 2013}}{{Cite web|website=GQ|title=Preside los Premios Feroz, que a partir de este año valorarán lo mejor de la cosecha cinematográfica desde el punto de vista de los periodistas|url=https://www.revistagq.com/la-buena-vida/hombre-gq-de-la-semana/articulos/david-carron-hombre-gq-de-la-semana/19315|first=Alberto|last=Moreno|date=15 January 2014}} After holding internal elections, {{ill|Pedro Vallín|es}} replaced Carrón at the helm of the association, then with 180 voting members. {{ill|María Guerra|es}} has since been elected to two mandates.
