Feria de Valladolid and the Valladolid Film Office with support from the Spain Film Commission hosted more than 35 location managers and scouts in its northwest city of Valladolid at the first-ever Shooting Locations Marketplace (SLM). The two-day October event introduced location professionals from the UK, Germany, Spain, Italy, Romania, the United States and Canada to more than 30 film commissioners throughout Spain, Portugal, Belgium and Greece in a unique and engaging way.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe experience was, to say the least, exhilarating!\u201d exclaims LM Joe Abel\/LMGI. \u201cThe format itself was a novel idea. Usually at these functions, we are lining up at various booths and exhibits to meet with film commissions and are lucky to get a couple minutes of one-on-one time. At the Shooting Locations Marketplace, we each had our own table and the film commissions booked appointments with us in 10- to 15-minute blocks.\u201d The event started with a keynote presentation by Dow Griffith\/LMGI on his own career history and the rise of international production. Panels featured speakers such as Adrian Wootton, the CEO of the British Film Commission, LMGI President John Rakich\u00a0 Venia Vergou from the Hellenic Film Commission, Location Scout Lori Balton and Sara Hernandez from the European Film Commissions Network (EUFCM).<\/p>\n

After the event, those who could stay were invited to select from several Fam Tours to different regions in Spain\u2014each multi-day excursion designed to showcase the beauty, wonder and unlimited filming possibilities of each area.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe tour was everything a location scout dreams of,\u201d enthuses David Park\/LMGI of his trip to Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura. \u201cOur hosts and film commissioners were all so friendly, entertaining and informative. They set up action-packed itineraries that allowed us to just shoot pictures. What a luxury it was to not have to plan each day and worry about all of the logistics of scouting and just focus on the craft!\u201d<\/p>\n

Joe Abel describes the \u201clush greens, mountain and desert landscapes, cityscapes and sand dunes of Gran Canaria, whose peaks rose up from the clouds almost beckoning us to land!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter Gran Canaria, we hopped over to Fuerteventura. This island is the first of the Canary Islands to rise from the ocean, and it lets you know it. Proud peaks, pristine waters and the scars of volcanoes remind you of the life this island has had. Rife with Spanish history and charming villages, this place had me beckoning for more. Puerto de la Cruz and Cotillo are a MUST-SEE.\u00a0\u00a0If you\u2019re looking for Mars, this is the place. If you\u2019re looking for a sleepy coastal village, this is the place. Dunes? They\u2019ve got it. Desert oasis? C\u2019mon down! Fuerteventura is definitely a must-see.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSome productions to have come through to showcase the island are\u00a0Foundation, Eternals, Wonder Woman 1984<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Solo: A Star Wars Story<\/em>,\u201d adds Park. \u201cThe island shows great support for filming with a strong film commission, production services and crew.\u201d<\/p>\n

Robbie Boake\/LMGI, who opted for the Valencia\/Costa Blanca Fam Tour notes: \u201cHaving scouted Ireland since 2006, my visual palette was filled with misty green landscapes, castles and coastlines, so I hoped that Spain would throw a healthy dose of orange and red into my mix. It\u2019s difficult to choose among scores of the beautiful places I saw, but I\u2019ll say Xixona was certainly one of the highlights because I got those reds and oranges I needed in droves! What got me about the trip was just how much is on offer in Spain. The true dedication to art, form, architecture and history just spills over into the camera wherever you aim it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dub\u00e9 recalls traveling \u201cthrough the province of Castilla y Leon visiting lakes, mountains, waterfalls and villages lost in the hills, historic cities with ancient universities, cathedrals and palaces. We even ended up in 1890\u2019s America when we visited the site of Sad Hill Cemetery.\u201d<\/p>\n

Built in 1966, the iconic film set for Sergio Leone\u2019s\u00a0The Good, the Bad and the Ugly<\/em>, with its 5,000 made-for-camera graves, had become overgrown, its crosses long gone and cows roaming across the site. Its recent reconstruction by dedicated fans was recorded in the recent Netflix documentary\u00a0Sad Hill Unearthed\u00a0<\/em>and it is now a major tourist attraction and economic engine for the area.<\/p>\n

Markus Bensch\/LMGI elaborates, \u201cIt was a warm and sunny Sunday afternoon when our group finally arrived at Sad Hill Cemetery. About half a dozen vultures circled overhead, an image that could not have been more fitting for our visit.<\/p>\n

\u201cShortly before, our coach had been held up by a scruffy-looking man wearing a poncho. It turned out this bad hombre was our guide to one of the most famous shooting locations in the history of western films\u2014from the climactic ending of the western classic.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur visit at Sad Hill went full circle as we happened to have location manager Patrick Mignano\/LMGI with us,\u201d continues Bensch. \u201cPatrick has been Clint Eastwood\u2019s \u2018go to\u2019 location manager since\u00a0Gran Torino<\/em>. Once Patrick put the famous poncho on and somebody played the signature tune of the film on his phone, we were not in Castilla y Leon anymore\u2014we had time traveled to New Mexico in 1862.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is what all of us are aiming for: finding, prepping and managing a location which not only works for a particular film, but turns out to be a pilgrimage site for film lovers for decades to come,\u201d muses Bensch.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is what a great filming location can do to you, even if you are a hardened professional and you think that you have seen everything already! Great filming locations transcend time and place.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Salamanca, Dub\u00e9 took in the \u201cincredible streets dating from the 15th century with fantastic buildings and churches and every now and again, a glimpse of a magnificent cathedral looming over us. Our guide took us into one of the oldest universities in the world which still had the original benches and tables. What a place! Busy and vibrant with a history stretching back more than 700 years. Finally, we ended up in the walled city of Avila!<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were very well looked after with multi-course lunches and dinners in unique spaces. Throughout the trip, we spent a lot of time talking and thinking about location matters and nearly the same amount of time discussing and pondering the rich menus which were presented twice a day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSpain, Spain, Spain. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways!\u201d ponders Abel. Concludes Dub\u00e9, \u201cA great country with many, many location possibilities, a government which is positive and embarrassingly helpful and a healthy filming incentive. What more could you want?\u201d<\/p>\n

Well how about this news from Caroline Yepes the buyers coordinator at Feria de Valladolid:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s a pleasure for Shooting Locations Marketplace to work closely with LMGI. This collaboration has been extremely useful for both parts and we are willing to continue this way for the second edition of SLM.<\/p>\n

We look forward to hosting the upcoming edition, that will take place in Valladolid, October 20 & 21, 2022, where location scouts will be able to find the perfect location for their projects.\u201d<\/p>\n
