Corrida De Toros
June 6, 2007
The Post Studio started production on a documentary featuring “bullfighting” this month. Initial photography started at the Hurtado brothers beautiful Plaza De Toros Monumental, located in Playas Tijuana.
Shot in high definition, the first of the events proved to be a compelling introduction to a Fiesta Brava. The bases of the documentary are to highlight a first time experience of a corrida (bullfight) and to share the cultural exchange of the aficionados. In the Spanish tradition of bullfighting, there are three toreros and six bulls. Each torero demonstrates his courage and style with 2 bulls. The overall experience is art in motion with a sometimes-raucous crowd that moves with emotion.
As, with any discussion on this subject it would not be complete without debate or argument. So, we’ll leave you with a Hemingway quote from “Death in the Afternoon” published in 1932. “Anything capable of arousing passion in its favor will surely raise as much passion against it.” Ernest Hemingway
We’ll be posting an update soon with more on production and our experiences.
