Flamenco Denver Movie Premier

Join Flamenco Denver as they premier their first DVD performance!

The new film by Carlos Saura, Flamenco, Flamenco was shown at the DC Film Fest on Sunday April 10, 2011. It is a rich and colorful concert of modern flamenco artists,  Filmed over seven weeks inside a former Seville Expo '92 pavilion, it features 21 singers, dancers and instrumentalists.

Saura has made ten flamenco movies in forty years and some of them have been rather stark. This one by contrast is a chocolate box of color. Every set is different, with backgrounds of European paintings and vivid Spanish landscapes. There are lots of close-ups of faces, instruments, palmas and footwork.

Some sets were unforgettable, such as the man and woman who sang and danced in pouring rain throughout. Three men sat around a wooden table, the one in the middle singing and those on either side tapping out the rhythm with their fingers and knuckles. Farruquito came on, all smiles and magic flashing feet, followed by Paco de Lucía, with a full complement of support artists, including a couple of pretty girls.

Cash bar will be open (we do accept credit cards). Admittance is FREE!! Suggested donation of $5 to support film night in the arts is appreciated!

Hope to see you there!
