The talent behind the scenes
The creation of RTVA in 1987 was the first political decision regarding the film industry in Andalusia. Little by little, a private business sector emerged and an incipient professional network began to take shape.
Before this became a thriving reality, in 1998 we proposed to RTVA the creation of the Andalucía Film Commission, following international models, to attract film shoots and promote our assets abroad.
In recent years, this joint strategy has enabled Andalusia to develop an entrepreneurial film industry with highly qualified professionals who have fostered and attracted the talent of creators whose works are screened in multiple cinemas in Spain and around the world, for which they have received numerous national and international awards.
AFC was a pioneer in these promotional activities, as it was in exploiting the tourism potential of filming all kinds of films and series.
About to celebrate thirty years of uninterrupted activity, thanks to public-private partnership, AFC is facing new challenges in the search for new markets such as India and others, stimulating the promotion of its public and private heritage and participating in the most dynamic strategies for the future of the film industry, balancing the promotion of culture and business opportunities.
We are proud members of the audiovisual ecosystem, whose potential we believed in when it was just an aspiration and which is now a reality.
Today, we can say that we have fulfilled our instrumental role.
Carlos Rosado
President
Since the creation of the Andalucía Film Commission in 1998, I have had the opportunity to meet many talented people who have passionately taken care of every detail to ensure that the final scene is convincing and powerful.
I had been thinking about this exhibition for years, and thanks to the invitation from the Spanish Embassy in Berlin, it is now a reality. We are opening the exhibition during the Berlinale, but the entire AFC team intends to continue expanding its content so that it can continue to travel and showcase Andalusia’s technical and artistic talent.
Cinema and the film industry are going through difficult times.
The aim of this exhibition is to highlight the talent behind the words in a script, the music that moves us, the textures of a chosen fabric, the notches in the space, the make-up of a wound, the editing, the special effects, the chosen location… everything comes together to enhance the story.
A tribute to those who work behind the scenes in Andalusia.
