In 1995 a film called FLAMENCO was produced. It was a story about this beautiful genre, with singing, dancing and music. It became a landmark in the history of music in Spain.
With the experience and knowledge that Carlos Saura’s films have gained over time, and with part of the team that worked in that file (Vittorio Storaro as photography director and Isidro Muñoz as music adviser), we explore once again the current talents in this lively and dynamic art, to present a new film.

No doubt, FLAMENCO, FLAMENCO is as brilliant as the first one, regarding its artistic quality; it has improved technically and the narration is different. It uses all the new elements that Carlos Saura has discovered thanks to experience and ongoing work in his latest masterpieces.
Flamenco, Flamenco can be considered to be the greatest exponent of Carlos Saura's particular and personal way of producing musical cinema. This has enabled audiences all around the world to enjoy our films and our art, through music, dancing and incredibly beautiful singing.
