The 22nd edition of the Almería International Film Festival (FICAL) will take place between November 17 and 26. The event will pay tribute to the series "Entre tierras", which will receive the Filming Almería Special Award, recognizing productions that use Almería as a filming location.
In October of last year, filming for "Entre tierras", an Atresmedia fiction produced by Boomerang TV and starring Megan Montaner, Unax Ugalde, Carlos Serrano, Juanjo Puigcorbé, Begoña Maestre, and Clara Garrido, came to an end in locations within the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park. The series is set in rural Spain in the 1960s.
In "Entre tierras", Boomerang TV once again used Almería as a filming location, just as it did with Mar de plástico, another successful series that also received the Filming Award at FICAL. The Almadraba de Monteleva area, the Church of Las Salinas, Mónsul Beach, and other parts of Níjar are among the locations featured in this production, which is currently available on Atresplayer and will later be broadcast on Antena 3.
Montse García and Luis Santamaría are the executive producers of "Entre tierras", with Lucía Alonso-Allende as co-executive producer. The ten episodes are directed by Humberto Miró, Pablo Guerrero, and María Togores.
In addition, in this edition of the FICAL Awards, our series "La Moderna" is a finalist in the category of “Best Daily Broadcast Series.” Helena Ezquerro, Almagro San Miguel, and Stéphanie Magnin, stars of the RTVE series produced by Boomerang TV, will attend the festival along with executive producer Humberto Miró to take part in the closing gala of the event.
"La Moderna" is a daily series that takes viewers to 1930s Madrid and the stories of employees and customers of an elegant, centrally located tea room. It is based on the novel Tea Rooms by Luisa Carnés and airs Monday to Friday at 4:30 p.m. on La 1.
The series is filmed in real locations from early 20th-century Madrid and in over 2,500 m² of studio sets recreating the tea room, a grand shopping arcade, and the characters’ homes in a traditional courtyard building. Music plays a key role, with its main theme performed by Pastora Soler and composed by Tony Sánchez-Ohlsson.
Helena Ezquerro, Stéphanie Magnin, and Almagro San Miguel lead the cast, alongside Miryam Gallego, José Luis García-Pérez, Teresa Hurtado de Ory, and Sara Rivero. Llorenç González, Berta Castañé, and Bárbara Mestanza head a large ensemble cast.
The production is led by Luis Santamaría and Humberto Miró, with direction by Liliana Bocanegra, Isaac Cantero, Pedro Martínez, and David Montoya. The writing team, coordinated by Carlos Martín Eguía and Joaquín Santamaría, includes Miquel Peidró, José Antonio López (Kata), Remedios Crespo, Ignasi Rubio, Juan Manuel Beiro, Ángela Armero, Neus Peidró, Sergio Barrejón, José Ángel Domínguez, and Laura Molpeceres.
