| Summary: | Trece badaladas, a Galician novel written by Suso de Toro, translated into Spanish as Trece campanadas, won the National Literature Prize for Narrative (Spain) in 2003. Later that year, a film based on the story was released in cinemas with the same title. The adaptation respected the essence of the plot: a film producer/sculptor was involved in a horror thriller about legends and myths of Master Mateo and Santiago's Cathedral, with their beliefs, shadows and appearances. 2012 marked the release of O Apóstolo (El Apóstol), a film directed by Fernando Cortizo, which was the first stop-motion animation in 3D made in Europe. The plot followed the ancestral and monstrous legends set in the Camino de Santiago, which, through a fantastic setting, placed the 'xacobea' theme again as the backdrop of an audiovisual narrative. The film was showed in the main cinemas inSpain having a considerable acceptance by the critics and receiving prestigious awards.These productions, in different media, have demonstrated the permeability of the 'xacobea' theme in the contemporary repertoire of Galician cultural productions. Besides, it has highlighted its effectiveness to project itself both in literature and audiovisual media, adopting and adapting the fantastic tradition of the Galician narrative. |
