“Con El bueno, el feo y el malo tenemos la suerte de que es una película eterna”: ocho años de peregrinaje fílmico a Sad Hill. Una entrevista a Sergio García de la Burgos Film Commission

Abstract

The history of the Burgos Film Commission is closely linked to the activities of the Sad Hill Association, founded in 2014 to keep alive the memory of the film The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966). The reconstruction of the cemetery in the final scene of this mythical Italian western by Sergio Leone was, moreover, accompanied by the acclaimed documentary Sad Hill Unearthed by director Guillermo de Oliveira. Therefore, most of the interview with Sergio García focuses on this initiative and the impulses it gave both to the rise of film tourism in the region and to new audiovisual projects that today can count on the support of the Burgos Film Commission.
