This Festival was born with the aim of giving the possibility to numerous authors to produce and make films related to flamenco and its many aspects; dance, singing, guitar playing, history, ways of life etc. .....

It will be a space open to art and emotions that, from flamenco become documentary and fiction films, with the intention of providing added value to the field of creation and perception of flamenco as a social phenomenon beyond borders, races and beliefs of any kind. Those works that best show the different realities and sensitivities around flamenco in different parts of the world will be screened, with testimonies and experiences that go from the personal to the social movement that has its roots in flamenco as a way of life and expression of an entire people.
