At an event held as part of the 73rd San Sebastián International Film Festival, Pedralonga Estudios has announced the launch and start of operations of Coruña Estudio Inmersivo (CEI), the best-equipped virtual soundstage in Spain and a leader when it comes to the next generation of immersive shoots in Europe. The event, hosted by the president of Pedralonga Estudios, Fernanda Tabarés, was attended by Valentín González Formoso, president of the Provincial Council of A Coruña, and Alfonso Blanco, president of the Galician Audiovisual Cluster (CLAG).

In his remarks, González Formoso described CEI as “an infrastructure that connects two key sectors for Galicia’s future: audiovisual and technology”, noting that it will strengthen the region’s ability to attract national and international productions. He also highlighted the public-private collaboration model that has made this cutting-edge production centre possible: co-financed by the Provincial Council of A Coruña and the Government of Spain through the EU NextGeneration funds, CEI is managed by Pedralonga Estudios SL, a company set up in 2024 by CLAG, the University of A Coruña and ten leading Galician companies.

Representing the Galician audiovisual sector, Blanco stated that the boost provided by this pioneering project will benefit the entire national industry of shoots and production services: “Pedralonga Estudios and CEI combine perfectly to place Galicia as an ideal shooting destination,” offering other advantages such as more than 30 years of experience, production companies with impressive international standing, top-tier technical and artistic talent, unparalleled landscape diversity, and public support that facilitates co-production and encourages the attraction of shoots.

For her part, the president of Pedralonga Estudios detailed CEI’s competitive advantages: “It boasts a total area of over 2,000 m², including a 750 m² virtual stage with an LED wall measuring 28 x 6 metres and a 1.9 pixel pitch,” technical resources that position the centre at the forefront of virtual production in Europe. This infrastructure will be expanded over the course of 2026 with two additional stages of 2,500 and 2,000 m² currently under construction, conceived to serve audiovisual production end-to-end with a full range of ancillary facilities. “Our shared goal is to offer the latest technology to benefit creativity and the industry, at competitive prices,” she concluded.

Pedralonga Estudios is the integrated audiovisual production centre located in the Cidade das TIC (A Coruña), with more than 7,500 m² of cutting-edge facilities: a pioneering space that incorporates immersive technologies (augmented reality, virtual reality and extended reality), such as large-format 4K LED screens, enabling the creation of hyper-realistic, interactive environments that are revolutionising audiovisual production.
