Barcelona is the quintessential photogenic city, and this hasn\u2019t gone unnoticed to filmmakers.<\/p>\n
From the very beginning of film history, cinema pioneers shot in Barcelona. Names like Segundo de Chom\u00f3n, a master of primitive FX who worked with Meli\u00e9s, filmed in the Ciudadela park at the beginning of the 20th century. That was the trigger for an endless history of cinema in the city. From the first touristic commercials in 1910 to the documentary films shot by the CNT (Spanish anarchist political party); from the NODO (Francoist newcasts) to the landing of Hollywood\u2019s Golden Era productions: John Wayne, Ava Gradner, or Orson Welles, all of them left a deep print on the streets of the city.<\/p>\n
Closer on time, national classics like \u201cFuria espa\u00f1ola\u201d (Spanish Rage) o \u201cLos Tarantos\u201d in the 60s, or underdogs\u2019 movies like \u201cPerros callejeros\u201d (Stray Dogs) in the 70s, portrayed another face of the real hidden Barcelona. In the same years, Jack Nicholson stayed in the Hotel Oriente in Ramblas, and chit-chatted with a local under the pergola of the Ciudadela in Antonioni\u2019s \u201cThe Reporter\u201d, V\u00e1zquez Montalb\u00e1n\u2019s most famous character \u2013 Pepe Carvalho \u2013 starred in film for the first time by the hands of Bigas Luna, and Ventura Pons filmed the great Oca\u00f1a.<\/p>\n
Till our days, cinema has loved this city in emblematic films like Almod\u00f3var\u2019s \u201cAll About my Mother\u201d, Amen\u00e1bar\u2019s \u201cOpen Your Eyes\u201d, or Woody Allen\u2019s \u201cVicky, Cristina, Barcelona\u201d\u2026 the list is endless, and all of them were here, in Barcelona.<\/p>\n
