The SCFC results
Nine productions between May and September. These are the remarkable
results
of the Santiago de Compostela Film Commission which has brought
together
important national and European productions worth a total of ?878,000
spent
in the city. In addition to a TV series, a film for TV, three
documentaries,
two programmes and filming on an advert, the SCFC has also collaborated
on the running, co-ordination and shooting on two feature length films:
La promesa directed by Hector Carré starring Carmen
Maura,
with more than ?540,000 spent in the region, and Romasanta by
Paco
Plaza, produced by the Filmax group.
SCFC will soon be opening up to a Japanese production, using the famous
cathedral in the city as a set for a documentary. This frenetic level
of
activity looks set to continue in the coming months, with the creation
of
a website, but above all with the signing of a collaboration agreement
with
the Galician Audio-Visual Consortium. This organisation receives more
than
?928,000 from the group at the Cinema City, whose members include
Santiago,
San Sebastian, Salamanca and Oporto, which was given by the European
Union?s
Interreg-III-C programme.
