THE 2006 BOSTON LATINO INTERNATIONAL FILM
FESTIVAL presents “Subtango: the Spirit of Tango,” “Si sos brujo: una
historia del tango,” “Orquesta Típica: Tango or Death,” “Alegrías,” and “Morente
sueña la Alhambra” Films about Tango and Flamenco
Boston, MA – The Boston
Latino International Film Festival (BLIFF) is pleased to present five
documentary films exploring the art and music of tango and flamenco. See below
for screening dates and times. Admission for all films is $8.00, except for
films screened at Tower Auditorium, where admission is free. For a complete
listing of BLIFF 2006 films and for ticket and pass information, please visit
www.bliff.org.
The films featured include:
“Orquesta Típica: Tango
or Death” 90 mins. / US, Argentina / Dirs: Nicolas & Ivan Entel Twelve guys
looking like rockers pushing a piano down the street. Their sound is elaborate
but raw. Their music is politically committed while historically linked to
counterculture; still, it is a part of a genre more than a hundred years old.
This is their story. This is Buenos Aires 2006. Best Documentary, 2006 Beverly
Hills Film Festival Screening date: Tuesday, October 24 at 5:30 PM at Tower
Auditorium, Mass College of Art (Admission is Free)
“Subtango: the Spirit
of Tango” 60 mins. / US, Argentina / Dir: Sofia Vaccaro Even after a century of
history, after enshrinement as the national music, after rampant
commercialization and packaging for export, the tango still speaks to the
Argentine soul. Subtango shows how tango music, dance, art and poetry are an
essential part of the emotional expression of regular people, featuring the
gamblers, ramblers and barroom prophets of the Buenos Aires night, playing
weather-beaten accordions and singing old tangos of heartbreak and resentment.
Subtango is a portrait of that world of tango that lies closest to the true
meaning of what tango is in Argentina. Official Selection, 2000 XXII
International Festival of the New Latin American Cinema, Havana Screening date:
Thursday, October 26 at 5 PM at Center for Latino Arts
“Alegrias” 7 mins.
/ USA / Dir: Jenny Alexander Q&A with Director Alexander after
screening World Premiere: A flamenco dance performance featuring La Conja
(dancer), Juanito Pascual (guitar) and Gonzalo Grau (cajón). – AND – “Morente
sueña la Alhambra” (Alhambra Daydreams) 92 mins. / Spain / Dir: José Sánchez
Montes Enrique Morente, one of the world’s greatest living flamenco artists,
takes us on a musical tour of Spain’s finest monument – Granada’s Alhambra
Palace – in a vibrant tribute to Spain’s Andalusian culture, spanning music,
dance and architecture. Seducing both the ear and the eye, Alhambra
Daydreams is a unique confluence of a multitude of talents, come together in the
romantic heart of Spain. Featuring Enrique and Estrella Morente, Tomatito, Juan
Habichuela, Israel Galván and Blanca Li. – Melbourne Film Festival Screening
date: Thursday, October 26 at 6 PM, Center for Latino Arts
“Si sos brujo:
una historia de tango” 79 mins. / US, Argentina / Dir: Caroline Neal A young
Argentine musician races to find legendary maestros from tango's golden age (now
men in their 70's and 80's) to reestablish the lost oral transmission of style
before the real secrets of tango disappear forever. Screening date: Sunday,
October 29 at 1 PM, Center for Latino Arts
