An important milestone in the Canarian audiovisual industry is the opening of Gran Canaria Studios, which is an audiovisual complex that covers a total constructed area of approximately 6,000 sqm, made up of two sets of 1,200 sqm and 1,800 sqm with attached facilities straight in the city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
The first “pilot project”, at the end of 2022, was the Swedish film The Abyss for Netflix, which had the production services of Seven Islands Film and they shot for 6 weeks on both sets simultaneously (plus another 4 weeks of construction and preparation).
In 2023, the film Deep Water with Ben Kingsley and Aaron Eckhart was filmed on the sets. In January 2024, the year began with the filming of 2 films of the German saga, The Investigators (Die drei Fragezeichen), produced by the German production company Wiedermann & Berg Film GmbH for Sony Pictures. This filming took place on both the 1,800m2 set and the backlot for more than 3 months.
