He has also collaborated with renowned directors such as Julio Medem in Los amantes del círculo polar and Pedro Almodóvar in La mala educación, among other titles.

“"Fele Martínez very well represents what we are as a festival: a solid, coherent trajectory deeply linked to cinema."
The director of the Skyline Benidorm Film Festival, Beatriz Hernández, highlighted that Martínez's relationship with the festival has not been a one-off, as he has participated in several editions with very relevant works, both as an actor and a director. Hernández also emphasized the local component of this distinction, stating that, on the festival's tenth anniversary, the fact that the award recipient is from Alicante is "especially significant" for "being able to recognize on our tenth anniversary a professional from here, with such a recognized trajectory in audiovisuals".
With this award, Fele Martínez joins the list of personalities recognized by the festival, which already includes names such as María Esteve, Miguel Rellán, and Cayetana Guillén Cuervo.
