RTVE begins preparations for the filming of Cognitio, the TV Movie that is part of the promotional strategy for the VIII Centenary of the University of Salamanca. A project in which the Salamanca City Council and the University itself participate, whose filming is expected to begin in the last two weeks of February. It is a co-production by TVE with La Cometa TV, directed by Iñaki Peñafiel (Víctor Ros, La Sonata del silencio, Los misterios de Laura, El tiempo entre costuras, among others).

The City Council, through Salamanca Film Commission, has collaborated with the production company's technical team on location scouting. In the coming days, the definitive locations will be finalized, which will include the main university spaces, as well as prominent heritage sites of the city.

The team has estimated six days of filming and will require 400 extras who will work in sequences set in the 16th century and the 21st century.

Those interested should send an application to the following email account: seleccion@p7audiovisual.com, including full name, DNI (ID), full-face and full-body photographs indicating their measurements (height, pant size, shirt and shoe size), hair color, place of residence, and contact phone number.

Those responsible for the selection process will contact the extras who best fit the television fiction.

Murder at the University, scheduled to air on TVE's La 1 throughout 2018, is a thriller, set in 1542, starring four students from the University of Salamanca who will discover a new way of seeing life thanks to an Augustinian professor.

The protagonists will witness a tireless struggle for control of the university and the mastery of knowledge. The innocent yet knowledge-hungry gaze of a young Fray Luis de León in his first year of university will be the point of view to see how events unfold and his relationship with the Augustinian, which will be fundamental to understanding what he later became.

This is a project, framed within the VIII Centenary, led by the Salamanca City Council and the University of Salamanca.
