We're entering our second online festival weekend with two beautiful documentaries! First off is the short documentary TRASLASIERRA directed by the talented Dutch Spanish singer Raquel Kurpershoek. Followed by the musical documentary J: BEYOND FLAMENCO by the legendary Carlos Saura.

J: BEYOND FLAMENCO | Carlos Saura

Musical Documentary | 90 min

After “Carmen”, “Sevillanas”, “Flamenco” and “Fados”, Carlos Saura brings us a soulful musical documentary about la Jota, the traditional dance and folk music from his homeland Aragon that lies at the basis of some flamenco styles. In “J: Beyond Flamenco” Carlos Saura journeys from the most basic and rooted folk singing and traditional dance to pioneer artists who anticipate the future of this powerful music. With this visual journey where the scenery and light provide the backdrop for the story, Saura intends to leave a vital, historical and unique document for future generations, that serves as a memory and reference for everyone who loves music.
