Through Canary Islands Film, we continue working to strengthen a sector capable of responding to this growing demand.\u201d<\/p>\n The event was also attended by representatives from island and municipal institutions.<\/p>\n The production received location support and coordination from the Fuerteventura Film Commission<\/b><\/span>. Its main filming location was Playa de la Guirra<\/b><\/span> in Caleta de Fuste<\/b><\/span> (Antigua), while additional scenes were filmed along the Corralejo Dunes Road<\/b><\/span>, Corralejo Harbour<\/b><\/span> (La Oliva), Betancuria<\/b><\/span>, and private locations in Tef\u00eda<\/b><\/span> and Costa Calma<\/b><\/span>.<\/p>\n For director Javier Veiga<\/b><\/span>, the screenings held special significance.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is wonderful to have these special screenings in Fuerteventura, especially in a cinema located so close to the film\u2019s main setting,\u201d he explained. \u201cThe shoot was demanding, with many night-time scenes, but it was also a pleasure because the island gives the film a very distinctive character, something that critics have also highlighted.\u201d<\/p>\n Playa de Lobos<\/i> stars <\/span>Dani Rovira<\/b><\/span>, <\/span>Marta Hazas<\/b><\/span>, <\/span>Antonia San Juan<\/b><\/span>, and <\/span>Javier Veiga<\/b><\/span> himself.<\/span><\/p>\n The film is produced by Medio Lim\u00f3n<\/b><\/span>, the production company founded by Marta Hazas<\/b><\/span> and Javier Veiga<\/b><\/span>, with a focus on creating original, author-driven stories with a distinctive voice.<\/p>\n Following the screenings, Javier Veiga<\/b><\/span> and Marta Hazas<\/b><\/span> took part in a discussion with the audience, sharing behind-the-scenes details about the production.<\/p>\n Speaking about the filming experience, Marta Hazas commented: \u201cIt was truly wonderful and incredibly enjoyable. The team did not even leave the island during weekends.\u201d<\/p>\n Referring specifically to Caleta de Fuste<\/b><\/span>, she added: \u201cWe chose this location because it was perfect. The beach bar where the entire story takes place was exactly what we had imagined when reading the script. It was the place we had pictured from the very beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n The feature film tells the story of two completely different men who meet at sunset in a beach bar facing Lobos Islet<\/b><\/span>.<\/p>\n Manu<\/b> works at the beach bar, while Klaus<\/b><\/span> is a tourist who refuses to leave the last sun lounger waiting to be packed away. At first glance, it appears to be a chance encounter between two men who have nothing in common and seem destined never to understand each other.<\/p>\n However, Manu gradually begins to suspect that Klaus is neither on that beach by coincidence nor the person he claims to be. As tensions between them escalate, Klaus presents Manu with a disturbing and unexpected proposal that changes everything.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u2018Playa de Lobos\u2019 Enjoys a Successful Screening in Fuerteventura Thanks to the Fuerteventura Film Commission Yelmo Cineplex cinemas in Caleta […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4145,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[226],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4144","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fuerteventura-film-commission"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
