Galicia, España
Channel
It’s winter. Snows. A runaway hits the door of your house trying to flee. You let him pass and he rewards you with an
EMBROIDERED PATCH, a METALLIC BADGE and some PHOTOS.
After a long walk through Teixadal de Casaio, you decide to eat. Suddenly, after a thousand-year-old yew tree, you recognize a young guerrilla and share your lunch with her. Your generosity deserves a reward: you will receive a SCREENED T-SHIRT, an EMBROIDERED PATCH, a METALLIC BADGE and PHOTOS.
A prisoner at the Valborraz tungsten mine prison, occupied by the Nazis, sends you a celluloid tape in which a German engineer describes the mine facilities. Undoubtedly, this information can be valuable in planning an
escape, and he decides to hand it over to the guerrillas. You've played it: you deserve a copy of the MOVIE in personalized USB card format, an EMBROIDERED PATCH, a METALLIC BADGE and PHOTOS.
You carry with a cache of weapons. Given the suspicions of the Civil Guard, you decide to hide the pistols and ammunition under a layer of moss between the two largest stones in Campo Cigarra. "Those from the forest"
recognize your work and reward you with the MOVIE in personalized USB card format, a SCREEN-PRINTED T-SHIRT, an EMBROIDERED PATCH , a METALLIC BADGE and some PHOTOGRAPHS.
Your good relationship with the inmates of the Valborraz mine prison allows you to obtain large amounts of tungsten with which you get access to valuable material for the guerrilla. With all that you have risked, how could we not invite you to the PREMIERE of the documentary in spring 2022 in Casaio (Ourense). As a great reward, you receive a TICKET of the event and a MOVIE in a personalized USB card format.
After months of close collaboration with the guerrilla, you receive an invitation to be part of it. This important step makes you part of the history of the Ciudad de la Selva. Said RECOGNITION is reflected with a formal thanks in the CREDITS of the film (if you consider it so) and in our SOCIAL NETWORKS along with a copy of the MOVIE in format custom USB card.
You're surrounded. A gang of Civil Guard patrol from the south and a group of Falangists arriving from the west. You have no escape, but your knowledge of the terrain allows you to get out of the trap. Such an achievement is rewarded with a TICKET for a special archaeological and cinematographic CONFERENCE about the Ciudad de la Selva with the scientists and cinematographers behind the project, a specific RECOGNITION making the name and/or logo of your entity or person (if they consider it so) appear in the CREDITS of the film and in our SOCIAL NETWORKS.

Ciudad de la Selva is the cinematographic chronicle of the last battle front of the Spanish Civil War in the mid-40s. The story of this group of refugees (fuxidos), who try to survive in the hope that, At the end of World War II, the allied armies also intervened in Spanish territory.
After the military uprising of 1936, many civilians were forced to move looking for a safe place while waiting for the end of the war. “Ciudad de la Selva” arises as a settlement of displaced people in the Casaio mountains (Ourense) that brings together, mainly, Galicians and Asturians opposed to the new Franco regime. Today, thanks to a large number of archaeological finds and the testimony of experts and people who were directly related to this group of dissidents, we can reconstruct the history of these people and know what happened in the mountains of Casaio from when the town was formed until the bloody end of the guerrilla at the hands of the Civil Guard in 1946.
This is an audiovisual project, developed in a cooperative way, with which we seek to create a documentary that tells the last story of the Spanish Civil War. Various historians and journalists have documented the events that occurred in the “Ciudad de la Selva” without knowing that it was a conflict of this magnitude and historiographic importance.
It has been in recent years, with the archaeological, historiographical and anthropological work of Sputnik Labrego that we have discovered that the City of the Jungle was a key point for the anti-Franco resistance in the northwest of the peninsula. In the mountains of Casaio, they believe that there were more than 50 rudimentary buildings in which up to 200 male and female guerrillas could live. From there they managed a wide smuggling network with which they supported their fight against Franco's forces.
We want to create a piece that relies on Casaio's scientific testimony, historical evidence, and landscapes as an objective basis with which to expose the events that occurred there. To accompany these events, we want to have interviews with people who experienced those events directly or indirectly, and merge them with an animated footage to recreate scenarios and situations resulting from the scientific conclusions of Sputnik Labrego and thus give the public different views on the same events.
Our main objective is to carry out the documentary, but this in turn brings with it a scientific projection and new opportunities for Casaio. If this project goes ahead, it may mean more funding for research in the area, and a possible job opportunity linked to culture, heritage and tourism.
The main motivation of this project is to tell a story that, although complex and full of nuances, is part of a memory that is in danger of being lost forever. Within what has been called "democratic memory", the memory of the anti-Franco guerrillas and the maquis has been relegated to second place, which represents a significant neglect of one of the main anti-Franco forces and of those people who fought for the restoration of a democratic order. Likewise, it is a vindication of local memory, in this case that of the village of Casaio, but which is the memory of many other towns and villages that had to face very difficult times, amidst cross fires.
This project is aimed at all those who want to delve into the contemporary history of Spain and Galicia from a critical point of view but based on scientific knowledge.
This project is promoted by a scientific association, Sputnik Labrego, and an audiovisual cooperative Metropolis.coop. Other organizations such as NERD Productions or Catbeat have progressively joined it.
Sputnik Labrego was born from the confluence of several people linked to the academic world whose interests are focused on the study of contemporary rural societies. From this interest the project linked to the City of the Jungle was born in 2017, whose objective was to deepen the scientific knowledge about the anti-Franco guerrilla from the point of view of its material remains. Since then, the team has been expanding, incorporating experts in Contemporary History, Archeology or Gender Studies into its ranks and collaborating with entities of recognized international prestige such as the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC), the University of Santiago de Compostela or the University of the Basque Country.
Metropolis.coop is a group of professionals in the audiovisual sector, advertising and computer programming founded in 2018, with the determination to create projects that contribute to the development of the social economy, carry out cultural initiatives and all this under character structures collaborative. Our work is currently focused on providing audiovisual production, recording and editing services to other companies in the sector in Galicia, to advertising agencies, production companies and media groups.
Isabel Fdez Reviriego and Jose Vázquez are Catbeat, a multimedia music producer located in Vigo that works all over the world. This studio has created soundtracks, designed custom sounds and custom music for video games, films, advertising and experimental projects. Isabel Fdez Reviriego is a Spanish musician, producer and composer currently in charge of Aries, a one-man project. Among all her projects, she has published around a dozen albums, including eight albums in Spain, the United States and Japan. José Vázquez is a musician and producer. For 20 years he has worked as a sound technician on the tours of mainstream Spanish artists such as Manolo García or Marea. He is in charge of Pastora's recording studios.
NERD Productions is a creative production studio representing a wide range ofcarefully selected directors and illustrators, crafting styles of live action, animation, mixed media and illustration for TVC, online content, OOH / DOOH, and more. We are active advocates for diversity and inclusion, constantly seeking, nurturing and empowering young talents, female talents, and talents from underrepresented backgrounds. Our goal is to help change and reshape our industry to be more diverse and inclusive, today, tomorrow and for future generations.
This is a film project that seeks to disseminate the important archaeological and historiographic findings discovered in Casaio (Ourense). These scientific works led by Sputnik Labrego and funded by both the CSIC and the Ministry of the Presidency of Spain, are a fundamental contribution to the democratic memory and heritage level, to the Valdeorras Region of which Casaio is a part. In addition, we would love for this effort to also mean that Casaio and its people, who currently live mainly from the extraction of slate, can make their archaeological and natural heritage a tourist, cultural and sustainable way of life.
Obtaining a quality education is the foundation to improving people’s lives and sustainable development.
Sustainable economic growth will require societies to create the conditions that allow people to have quality jobs.
