Cuban actor stars in new film "Edificio Royal" by director Ivan Wild
Actor Jorge Perugorria, known for his role in Senel Paz's emblematic film Fresa y Chocolate, was in Barranquilla until May 30th working on the Colombian film Edificio Royal directed by Ivan Wild. The feature received a Screenplay Development grant in 2006 and a Feature Production grant in 2008 from Colombia's Film Development Fund (FDC) and was produced by Ciudad Lunar Producciones, the same company that produced Los viajes del viento (screened at the Cannes Festival two years ago) and La sombra del caminante. The film was shot using a single location – the Edificio García in Barranquilla, an art deco treasure designed by Cuban architect Manuel Carrera (1909 - 1981) and built in the 1930s, and is considered one of the finest examples of modernist architecture in Colombia.

Almodóvar's diva to film in Colombia in June
Beginning June 17th, and for 37 days, renowned Spanish actress Carmen Maura, for many years one of Pedro Almodovar's main collaborators in films such as Pepi, Luci, Bom y otras chicas del montón (1980), Matador (1986) and Mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios (1988) will be shooting in Colombia. Maura is to star in the feature film Sofía y el terco, first film by writer Andrés Burgos, in the role of a 75 year-old woman who has never seen the ocean and has spent her entire life in a quiet, cold village in the Andes from which she strays only when necessary. For years her husband has promised to take her to the Caribbean, but year after year the trip is postponed for one reason or another until, one day, after her friend insists, she decides to make the journey alone and leave her husband behind to take charge of their domestic affairs. Alongside Maura appear famed Colombian actors Gustavo Angarita (Bolívar soy yo, Malamor) and Constanza Duque (Soplo de vida, La deuda), on location in Bogotá and nearby towns including La Calera, Guasca, Anapoima, Apulo and the paradisiacal Santa Marta.

"Swiss businessmen have great trust in Colombia and are very impressed by the country's development," said Marie-Gabrielle Ineichen, Swiss Secretary of Economic Affairs. Colombian Trade Minister Sergio Diaz-Granados confirmed that the Colombian government will set up a process through Proexport to help Colombian exporters take advantage of the benefits inherent in the agreement.

testimonio

"I shot in Colombia The Water Carrier, a period film set in the 1920's. I was able to find locations and towns that had no signs of modern time including no electric cables. I spent no money to have incredibly real and high production values for my film."

"I shot at Chingaza National Park, and was surprised how easy and inexpensive was to shoot there. The locations for The Water Carrier were all in Bogotá or within an hour drive from there. Bogotá is a modern eight-million people city where you can find any equipment or technician you could dream of."

"The story of Jose Gregorio takes place in Heaven and Earth. When thinking how to represent Heaven I chose to set it in one of the most beautiful places in planet earth. The Páramo is a unique ecosystem where the high Andes mountains are near the Equator, where you often see fields of clouds underneath the mountain tops."


Patricia Cardoso, Los Angeles-based Colombo-American director, on her experience filming in Colombia after living abroad for many years.
