World Film Locations
About
Barcelona is one of the world's most beautiful cities. A permanent showcase of the work of acclaimed architect Antoni Gaudí, it also has a long and rich cinematic legacy. Great directors from all over the world - among them Woody Allen, Pedro Almodóvar, Michelangelo Antonioni and Alejandro González Iñárritu - have set their films there. 'World Film Locations: Barcelona' explores the rich cinematic history of this Catalonian city. The book features 46 scene reviews focusing on specific locations, and six illuminating essays that cover essential themes of the city's cinematic history, including the origins of cinema in Barcelona, the role of Ciutat Vella (old quarter) as a film set, the influential Barcelona School of the 1960s, the film presence of Gaudí and his work, changing attitudes and urban renewal before and after the 1992 Olympics and the emergence of a new generation of female film-makers that have made Barcelona the centre of their cinematic explorations.
