Spain/San Sebastian Fest/Spotlight: Galicia: Savvy producers tap into array of co-prods, funds -- Molded for centuries by the centripetal force of Madrid, Spain is increasingly powered by its once-peripheral regions -- from Andalusia in the south, to Catalonia in the northeast and Galicia in the northwest. In terms of financial muscle, Madrid and Catalonia remain Spain's pre-eminent filming regions. But Galicia has cannily carved out a pivotal position in the country's film matrix, providing a vital gateway to Spain's E427.5 million ($610.8 million) film funding pie by leveraging regional coin. "I definitely aim to shoot in Galicia again," says Gonzalo Salazar-Simpson, producer of national hit "Road to Santiago." "The locations are spectacular, the financial incentives extremely attractive." "Galicia has six key advantages as a film hub," says La Coruna-based producer Manuel Cristobal: "It's the best possible co-production partner, has excellent technicians, extensive financial incentives, great actors, good producers and an open funding system." The hottest production to come out of a Galician producer right now is Vaca Films' "Cell 211," which screened at Venice and Toronto. Vaca also has drama "Retornos" in post. In a decade, the region has built up a mix of well-established producers -- Continental, Filmanova, Voz Audiovisual and Filmax Animation -- plus a younger generation: Vaca, Artefacto, Cinematografo and Perro Verde. Public policy has played a critical role. As an autonomous community with a significant degree of self-government, Galicia is keen on establishing a distinct identity in the international panorama. Film plays a key role in this process. "Feature films can easily have a far more powerful international impact than a book or a stage play," explains Galician Audiovisual Consortium director Ignacio Varela. The org now serves as the anchor of regional film funding, complemented by venture capital fund SempreCinema, that invests $1 million-plus per pic in local productions and to attract international co-productions. Regional pubcaster TVG is also a key partner. Additional funding is available from Xacobeo, managed by Ignacio Santos, that aims to build a strong brand image. Over the last 24 months, the company has
