"Carlos Velo, appears sent from the Galician cinema. Cinematography in Galicia is in the main in Galician language, although there is also a minority done in Spanish and Portuguese. History =Until the Civil War= After the arrival to Galicia of the first film projectors, there were some pioneers that carried out filmings. It is the case of authors as Xosé Gil (Miss Ledyia, 1916) or José Signo (La tragedia de Xirobio, 1930). In those years also Spanish films set in the Galicia as La Casa de la Troya are filmed and also works of foreign directors as Carmiña, flower of Galicia carried out by the Italian Rino Lupo although the interiors were carried out in Porto, appear. =Civil War – 1975= There are documentaries of the emigration and of the exile (rescued some of them at the end of the 20th century). The more distinguished figure is Carlos Velo (1909–1988). Before being exiled during the Spanish Civil War, he made documentary shorts for afterwards pass to Mexico where they consider him a director of Mexican cinema. In the eighties it was a center of mass of tributes and considered a pioneer. Some of his titles are Torero, 1956 and Pedro Páramo, 1967. =1975 – present= The importance of the fiction in television can be noticed by the economic development that some of the companies of production acquire through series. Unfortunately the economic strength does not mean that the production reflects a line of creation towards a cinema (or in this audio-visual case) characteristic of Galicia, stereotyped products, which they escape of any type of incorrect aspect, take place frequently -as it happens in most of the commercial televisions of the world-, and they follow an interchangeable model to any place of the world. Among the films done in Galicia it is remarkable for the quantity of people that it saw O bosque animado of 2001 (Dygra Films), according to data of the ICAA it was seen by 509.132 spectators (05/10/2004). Several other animated films have been produced in the region. The Blind Sunflowers (film) was filmed in Ourense. Lost in Galicia also features the region.

The village sits about east of the Hardanger Bridge along the Norwegian National Road 7. The village has a population (2019) of 544 and a population density of . This makes it the largest settlement in the municipality, with over half of Eidfjord's residents living in this village. Economy The village is the main commercial and government centre for the whole municipality. The village is a tourist destination with a quay for summertime cruise ships that sail along the fjord. The Hardangervidda plateau and the Hardangerjøkulen glacier are both located nearby. The Måbødalen valley and the famous Vøringfossen waterfall are a short distance away. This is why Eidfjord is home to many hotels, guest houses, and camp sites, as well as souvenir shops. The only school in the municipality, Lægreid School, is located here too. Geography Eidfjord is located between the Eid Fjord (on the north side of the village) and the large lake Eidfjordvatnet (on the south side of the village). The short Eio River runs between the lake and the village. The village of Øvre Eidfjord lies about south of Eidfjord, on the south side of the lake Eidfjordvatnet. History The village has been inhabited for a long time. There are Viking Age burial mounds located just up the hill from the village on a small plateau. The Old Eidfjord Church was built in Eidfjord in 1309. It was in continuous use until 1981 when the new Eidfjord Church was built just northwest of the old church.
