The monster in this film is a good counselor to a child who is going through some very difficult times due to his mother’s terminal illness. However, A monster comes to see me it’s not a scary movie. Many scary movies have been made in this audiovisual park. They are from the horror movie Musa, by Jaume Balagueró”, Cristina tells me. “And all these bathtubs, one next to the other, are original from the hospital?”, I say out loud. Is this sign from a shoot or “real”?, I wonder. Some have permanent decorations, like the prison, a room with a corner closed with vertical bars. We walk through long corridors and enter some of the rooms that had housed the sick. “We would like to enable part of it so that it can accommodate those who come to shoot for days in a row”, Cristina tells me with a small mouth, as she recognizes that this is a project that still needs to mature. Clear, there is room to spare, all empty. The producers are free to transform an area of the Hospital del Tòrax”, says Cristina. “Some films have been shot only here, at the Chest Hospital, and outdoors. We keep a copy of all the Catalan films that come out”, Mariona informs me. I am greeted by its manager, Mariona Bruzzo, who explains some details of this equipment that preserves a large part of the Catalan film heritage, in refrigerators at a certain temperature and 30% humidity. It is part of the Audiovisual Park, but is in a separate building. We are now at the Conservation and Restoration Center of the Film Library of Catalonia. They tell me that the house of the protagonist of A monster comes to see me they made it bigger than normal, so that the boy looked smaller. Everything is possible, if the script calls for it. We enter a huge set, with black walls, soundproofed, high ceiling… In a short time a set can be transformed into a kitchen, a garage or a gym. “In addition, at the Audiovisual Park we have lighting companies, costumes, communication agencies…”, comments Cristina as we dodge some workers unloading spotlights from a truck. TV programs have also been made there, such as Triumph operationand many events are held, such as the Summer Film Festival – not every year – and the Fred Festival music festival, “yes, every year”, explains Cristina Brandner, director of the Audiovisual Park of Catalonia, who acts as my guide. “The list of films that have been filmed there is very long. Local and international films and series, commercials and video clips are shot there in the strictest of secrecy. It’s easy to imagine some of the sick walking the corridors at night and turning on the projector to watch scary movies. It’s what was in the hospital cinema room. In this audiovisual park there is an old and huge projector on display. There was a shop, a hairdresser, a library, an in-house radio station, a commissary and a chapel – which is still standing: it’s worth going in it is huge and has artistic interventions by Santiago Padrós, who also intervened in the Valley of the Fallen. The hospital offered all the services, so that the patients did not need to leave it for anything in the world. A few years later this tuberculosis hospital became the Hospital del Tòrax, specializing in diseases related to the thoracic cavity, and later a center for the mentally ill. I guess I should have had it cold, because an omelette immediately stops being hot. He did this to check whether it was hot or cold, since the kitchen was a little far from the dining room. It is said that the dictator s ‘he stayed there for lunch and asked for an omelette. It is an impressive nine-storey building built to house a tuberculosis hospital: the Ciudad Sanatorial de Tarrasa, located in the so-called Plan del Bonaire de Terrassa, and inaugurated by Francisco Franco in 1952. It’s quite a monster, the place where it was shot A monster comes to see me.
