About Screening: La Singla
The highly-anticipated Catalan Film Festival returns for its ninth edition coming to cinemas across Scotland from March 20th - April 14th 2024.
Director: Paloma Zapata
Genre: Documentary
Country: Spain & Germany
Languages: Spanish with English subtitles
Year: 2023
Duration: 93 mins
Age rate: +16
The incredible archive footage used in the documentary serves to discover a unique artist whose force majeure shook the world of flamenco, but also to document a particular moment of the city of Barcelona and the political place the gitano community played in how we see and understand Barcelona today.
The body of the flamenco dancer Antonia La Singla endured illness, success, and oblivion, and was equally celebrated, exploited and finally forgotten. Hence Paloma Zapata’s documentary following La Singla traces and story becomes even more necessary for us to reflect on talent, trauma and desire.
