FLAMENCO: THE LAND IS STILL FERTILE
Produced and Directed by Eve A. Ma
Palomino Productions
With world-class performance, fascinating interviews, footage of beautiful locations in southern Spain and similar visually compelling materials we examine traditional flamenco - that passionate art form, recognized by UNESCO as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. What is it? What are its roots? What are its ties to farm workers and other dispossessed peoples? Was it created by gitanos (Spanish Gypsies), and is this significant? The documentary addresses all these concerns but then ends with even another question: what will happen in the future to this beautiful and powerful art form?
