Original Flamenco Documentaries

Bailaora tells the story of Siudy Garrido and her groundbreaking work as a Flamenco artist, immigrant, and woman. The film tracks Garrido's unmatched work ethic — directing a band of seven top male musicians and choreographing a six-dancer corps de ballet — as well as her trailblazing force as a Venezuelan-born artist in a traditionally Spanish genre. Throughout the film, Garrido's sensitive and insightful narration offers us a peek into the realities of life as an artist and what it means to find one's own voice within the noise of society. Nominated for a Latin GRAMMY® in 2022 and directed by Tribeca award-winning Best New Documentary Director Pablo Croce, this 60-minute immersive feature film documentary takes you on an inspiring journey into the mesmerizing world of Flamenco's seductive strings and percussive footwork — as well as the grit and grace it takes to be a Flamenco artist in contemporary times.

A hypnotic documentary that follows Siudy Garrido and her company as they face the challenges of a ten-week season in New York. The dream at the core of this story is elegantly simple: the prodigious Venezuelan-born flamenco dancer and her select group of artists aspire to bring their masterful production, Entre Mundos, to an iconic stage in the vibrant heart of New York. What initially seems like a straight path ahead quickly turns into a winding road, full of monumental efforts and unexpected challenges. From raising the necessary funds and organizing travel logistics to creating advertising campaigns from scratch — including a memorable sequence where they perform a flash mob in Times Square — and capturing the attention of national press, everything becomes a dizzying whirlwind of emotions and relentless trials. The constant struggle to keep the flame of art alive, the fatigue of an uncertain path, the tears and triumphs that intertwine throughout this odyssey — everything is laid bare in this film with raw sincerity.
