A CINEMA MASTERCLASS WITH CARLOS SAURA: THE FASCINATION OF FLAMENCO

Carlos Saura has always had a very special relationship with music, particularly with flamenco. His mother was a trained pianist and he discovered the depth of flamenco when he was a very young photographer covering music and dance festivals in Spain. In this exceptional event chaired by Joana Granero, director of the London Spanish Film Festival, he will discuss the role of music in his work, his fascination with music in general and with flamenco in particular.

London Spanish Film Festival 2nd Spring Weekend

http://www.londonspanishfilmfestival.com/

Before celebrating the 8th edition of the London Spanish Film Festival in September, we once again bring to London audiences a Spring Weekend packed with recent Spanish productions, including Alex de la Iglesia's latest film La chispa de la vida, the winner of the Goya Award for Best Animation Arrugas, the timely and poignant Cinco metros cuadrados, and a preview screening of Dominik Moll's The Monk featuring a Franco-Spanish cast. David Trueba will visit us to present Madrid, 1987.
 
In parallel to the Festival's Spring Weekend we'll be hosting a very special event about filmmaker Carlos Saura, director of so many key Spanish films, and his passion for music, especially flamenco. He will join us for a cinema masterclass and one of his flamenco films will be screened, the superb and fascinating Carmen, which he will introduce.
