50 YEARS OF CHIMES AT MIDNIGHTSCREENING OF THE FILM AT CARDONA CASTLE AND TOUR OF THE FILM LOCATIONS
For two weeks in October 1964, Cardona was the film location for Chimes at Midnight. More than 30 minutes of the film were shot with the presence of John Gielgud, Keith Baxter, Marina Vlady, Fernando Rey and, of course, Orson Welles. Many of the town’s inhabitants still have fond memories of that experience. To commemorate the shoot and as part of the celebrations to mark the centenary of Orson Welles’ birth, the same location will revisit the film for a very special occasion: a screening in the same collegiate church where it was shot. A guided tour of the film’s locations will also be offered. This activity is organised with the cooperation of the Catalan Agency of Cultural Heritage and the Cardona Town Council.
Presentation by Keith Baxter and Chris Welles Feder.

It is a shame that THE DEEP workprint could not be available on youtube so those of us not in Spain could have a chance to see it.
