The Tres Culturas del Mediterráneo Foundation once again joins the programme of the Seville Flamenco Biennale, the largest and most prestigious festival dedicated to flamenco art internationally, with a flamenco film cycle.
The Foundation once again opens the Biennial's programming with a film series that positions cinema as a space for the meeting of cultures, artistic languages, and shared memories. Under the title “Flamenco dancers”, This proposal pays homage to the women who have decisively contributed to building, preserving, and projecting the flamenco universe both within and beyond our borders.
Through a careful selection of films and documentaries, the cycle explores the careers of essential figures in flamenco singing, dancing, and creation, bringing audiences closer to stories of talent, commitment, freedom, and overcoming adversity. These works celebrate the creative strength of women and assert their role as protagonists of one of the Mediterranean's most universal cultural expressions.
This cycle also represents a commitment to cinema made from women's perspectives and to the recognition of their contribution to the audiovisual industry, fostering new spaces for visibility, reflection, and dialogue between cinematic creation and cultural heritage.

The Queen of Copla‘
Paco Millán. Spain, 2026, 70 min.
Synopsis: Juanita Reina was born in a humble, popular, and deeply emotional Seville. Within a large family, she soon understood that singing could be more than just a dream: it could be an escape, a promise, a way to alleviate the burden her parents carried and to offer her siblings a better life. This early awareness of sacrifice and responsibility would be the seed of an extraordinary career. Over time, the little girl who wanted to sing to help her family became a dazzling figure: star of films, a great stage performer, and the central voice of a way of feeling that spanned several generations.
