Bailaora
Malibu Film Festival (2023) Documentaries • 58m
Bailaora is a feature film documentary that 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 cops 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 peak 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® 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 word 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.
