The
location of a shoot in that land of cinema that is Almeria fulfills,
in many cases, the same cycle: it starts with the effusivity that accompanies
the announcement of a casting and ends remembering how ephemeral the world is
behind the scenes of the seventh art. When the cameras leave, little is
beyond the memory.
Beyond specific constructions
such as those left behind by “Exodus”
or material memories such as those that can be seen in the Casa del Cine of the capital , in
the natural set that Almeria
supposes only one option remains: visit those places that They have served as a
film scene
Back in 2011, the Commonwealth of Peoples
of the Interior decided to facilitate this tour through the natural
set that is hidden in some corners of the Filabres-Tabernas region.
For this, some information
panels were installed in those places where a film had been shot. Almost a
decade later, the status of these
panels is no longer what it was, as they denounce from the
Almeriacine platform.
"The beautiful information
panels that marked the routes, very exposed to the sun and the weather, have deteriorated
over time," explains the head of Almeriacine, Juanen Pérez Miranda.
“Some have been preserved or
replaced (castle and Tabernas
square, Senés ...) but others, most, are completely sunburned (the Turtle, Owl viewpoint, Red Canyon,
Queen of Swords mine ...), in the wood, without a trace of printing ”,
laments Pérez Miranda.
The
Commonwealth
The complaint, made through
Facebook, exemplifies the situation with an image of the information panel
of Rambla Benavides . “There
is no doubt the very bad impression it causes in a foreign visitor. Better
nothing than this image, of course, ”says Pérez Miranda.
The proximity of social networks
allowed the mayor of the town of Tabernas, José Díaz, to explain the current
situation and the truth is that there are several factors to consider.
"There are other
circumstances, and it is that the
Commonwealth (which was the one who put them) has no activity and,
in addition, Tabernas stopped being part of it for years," explains the
mayor on Facebook.
But beyond the administrative
situation of the institution that promoted this initiative in 2011, Díaz
himself indicates that he has
sought to improve the status of these information panels in
the municipality
of Tabernas.
"The Andalusian Government
has asked for a grant to change
them, but it has not been granted," he says. On the other
hand, he himself argues why they remain installed despite not being readable,
in most cases: “If they are removed, they will never be allowed to put them
back on,” he reasons.
In addition, José Díaz
indicates, “we have also asked for
interpretive and informative signage of the desert, to report the
most important prohibitions, especially for the destruction that motorcycles
and quads are producing”.
However, at the moment the truth
is that the informative posters of
the cinema of this region suffer from abandonment. “The
future costs are never anticipated or if there will be economic items for the
maintenance of what has been done. Once
the budget has been exhausted, the project is abandoned to its fate, whatever
lasts, ”Pérez Miranda laments.
Thus, and for the moment, the
passage of cinema through Almeria remains
ephemeral: the routes through that natural set that is the province lacks (at
least in this area) some indications at the height of the films that have gone
through Almeria
