Almeria a cinephile’s dream

FOUR filmmakers recently got a chance to visit various locales that have been used for the shooting of notable cinematic productions in Almeria Province.

The two day excursion, organised by Filming Almeria, allowed the group of film buffs to take a trip through time and cinema as they witnessed first-hand some of the iconic landscapes which have now been immortalised in cinema history. 

Some of the locations chosen included the Tabernas desert and the Almeria coastline. After the trip drew to a close the lucky participants took part in a press release to talk about their impressions and the highlights of their experience. 

The idea behind the project was to give increased attention to these notable and emblematic parts of the province, and also to give the filmmakers possible inspiration and footage that they could use in future projects. 

The four chosen ones were artistic director and production manager Laia Colet; the director of photography Pau Esteve; the executive producer Susana Maceiras; and the assistant director Violeta Salama.
