“El paisaje, los acantilados o edificios como el de Calatrava en Oviedo o la Laboral de Gijón y el patrimonio industrial son nuestras prioridades para dar a conocer”. Una entrevista a Lourdes Prendes de la Asturias Paraíso Natural Film Commission

Abstract

Created in 2016, the Asturias Paraíso Natural Film Commission (APNFC) has focused its activities on facilitating filming in the Principality of Asturias, favouring and boosting the audiovisual industry in Asturian territory. Under the auspices of the Govern­ment of Asturias, its main task is to support audiovisual productions by searching for lo­cations, processing permits and mediating with the various public and private entities involved in the filming process in the region. In addition, the APNFC is responsible for promoting film tourism, a fundamental and strategic element linked to the promotion of tourism and inherent to the very idiosyncrasy of the Asturian Film Commission. The attraction of filming is focused on favouring the natural and cultural landscapes, together with the historical and artistic heritage of Asturias, but also on making the potential of its industrial heritage visible.
