The Salamanca Tourism, Commerce and Economic Promotion Society S.A.U., through its audiovisual promotion department Salamanca Film Commission, has organized the III Salamanca Film Commission Audiovisual Days, which will be held on November 29, 30, and December 2, at the Congress and Exhibition Palace of Castilla y León.
Following the success of the first and second editions, titled: “Historias para no olvidar” and “II Jornadas Audiovisuales. Salamanca Film Commission” and which featured Chicho Ibáñez Serrador and the female universe in the audiovisual world and attracted more than 4,000 spectators, the third edition will feature the internet and television directors. The days are, above all, oriented towards communication students, and represent a unique opportunity to hear experiences and anecdotes from the medium, as it is very difficult to gather such prestigious professionals in the city of Salamanca.
