The Commission will be present at Shooting Locations Market, the international boutique event taking place on October 15–16, 2025, in Valladolid. This gathering has become the premier professional showcase for destinations looking to carve out or consolidate their place in the international audiovisual industry. A perfect stage to explain how and why Burgos is emerging as a reference for film, TV, and streaming productions.
Atapuerca as a Symbol: Filming Where It All Began
If one location captures Burgos’ drive to stand out in the audiovisual sector, it is Atapuerca. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, globally renowned archaeological complex, and now also a cinematic set. Choosing this site goes far beyond visual impact — «very special, very unique, and photographs beautifully», said director Manuel Ríos San Martín — it carries symbolic weight: filming in Atapuerca is a statement of creative ambition.
Actors like Daniel Grao have called the experience “a privilege” and “exciting”. Blanca Suárez expressed her gratitude for the «generosity and support» provided during the shoot, while Aria Bedmar highlighted the «immensity» of the site, and how it feels like we still only know “10% of what’s really there”. This kind of testimonial transforms Atapuerca from a mere backdrop into a living, breathing element of any story filmed there.
These voices are not isolated. They reinforce the narrative Burgos Film Commission has carefully built: one that weaves together heritage, natural beauty, and production viability. It’s a story that’s already bearing fruit — with productions like La bola negra by Los Javis, partially shot in the region, or a “made in Burgos” film reaching Comic-Con in San Diego, the province is clearly entering the international conversation.
Bespoke Services and Active Regional Promotion
The success of a film commission lies not only in the number of productions hosted, but in the quality of support provided. Burgos Film Commission offers a tailored model that blends personal welcome with professional efficiency. Production teams can schedule direct meetings, receive dedicated guidance, and count on open communication channels such as email and phone. Its website also features a section specifically for industry professionals, offering valuable tools and contacts.
On top of that, the Commission follows a highly active promotional strategy, which includes regular updates on ongoing projects and smart use of industry testimonials. Quotes from Blanca Suárez, Daniel Grao, or Víctor Palermo are more than promotional snippets — they’re part of a long-term narrative that builds Burgos’ credibility in the film world. As Palermo noted, it is «the first film in Spanish cinema to be shot in Atapuerca», a milestone that underlines both the location’s value and the momentum building in the region.
With its presence at Shooting Locations Market, Burgos Film Commission will be able to showcase this work to an international audience of decision-makers. It’s a key opportunity to strengthen partnerships, open new pathways of collaboration, and reaffirm that Burgos is no longer just a postcard landscape, but an active, prepared and inspired space eager to become the co-star of ambitious cinematic stories.
