Filming of the German TV movie «Einn Sommer» in Salamanca concludes
The recording included numerous outdoor spaces in the city, as well as a good number of shops and hospitality establishments
Today, Friday, marks the end of filming for the German TV movie Einn Sommer in Salamanca (A Summer in Salamanca). After a week of intense work, the German TV movie crew is filming the last shots tonight in the Plaza Mayor. The city will be a protagonist in the story, where some young Germans doing the Camino de Santiago decide to spend a few days in the capital of Tormes, captivated by its monuments.
The location scouting, which began months ago, was carried out in collaboration with the Salamanca Film Commission and the local production company Jabuba Films, which was also responsible for all production and logistics work for the German team.
The filming, which took its first steps in the Sierra de Gredos, has chosen numerous locations in the city, highlighting its outdoor spaces.
La Rúa, Plaza del Corrillo, Plaza de la Libertad, Pozo Amarillo, Plaza Mayor, Poeta Iglesias, Enrique Estevan Bridge, Huerto de Calixto y Melibea, Anaya, Patio de Escuelas Mayores, Compañía street, Plaza del Liceo, Toro street, and the Jesuitas park will be part of the story. Additionally, filming has taken place in numerous shops and hospitality establishments in the city.
Einn Sommer in… responds to a successful formula from the German channel ZDF, in which different stories are told in cities or countries with tourist appeal, all set in summer. Thus, the following have already been generated: Ein Sommer in Log Island, Einn Sommer in Mallorca, Ein Sommer in Englad, Ein Sommer in Masuren, Ein Sommer in Ungarn, “Ein Sommer in Schottland, etc…
Ein Sommer in Salamanca (A Summer in Salamanca) is directed by Michael Keusches and stars Susan Hoecke, Patricia Aulitzky, and Fernando Corral.
The TV Movie can become an important showcase for the city to tourists worldwide, as the distribution aims to be international, although it will primarily be in Germany through the second channel ZDF. For this reason, it has received support from the Salamanca City Council, through the Salamanca Film Commission, which has collaborated in location scouting, logistics, production, space allocation, processing of filming permits, and the organization of the casting call held last week at Torre Anaya, for which more than 500 people applied. Additionally, Local Police, Civil Engineering, Parks and Gardens, Lighting, Cleaning, Salamanca Ciudad del Español, and the Waste Collection Service have helped cover the filming needs.
