BLACK HILLS

In 1976/77 I was a student in the Radio, Film and TV Studies course at Bristol University. During my year there, I made this film. It was shot on the Italian Western locations in Almeria and Granada - El Paso, Fort Bravo, Flagstone and CECISA - where ten years later I made Straight to Hell. Black Hills is not a great film, but it's interesting to see what the sets looked like in the mid 1970s, especially Flagstone - the most elaborate of Carlo Simi's Western towns - and CECISA, both of which have vanished now.
