‘J: Beyond Flamenco - Carlos Saura’

The new film from legendary Spanish filmmaker Carlos Saura captures the vivacity and charisma of the jota, a waltz-like castanet dance with its origins in Saura's home province of Aragon.
With a career spanning nearly 50 years and over 40 films, Carlos Saura is one of Spain's most prolific filmmakers. He has long been using cinema to depict the social fabric of Spanish society and its many cultural iterations, and his recent filmography has been specifically concerned with dance and music. Saura's productions highlighting flamenco, tango, and fado have enthralled audiences with their beauty and simplicity.
