PLEASE NOTE: Due to unforseen circumstances Polígono Sur has been cancelled, but please join us in the auditorium for Miguel Poveda, a biopic about one of the world's foremost flamenco artists, as he takes on the most ambitious performance of his career.
Join us for an evening of cinema that explores how deeply woven Flamenco is in the daily lives of the people of Seville, the capital of Spain’s Andalusia region where Flamenco was born.

In a troubled and tight-knit Gitano community in Seville’s southside, Flamenco guitar, dance, and song are more than a way of life.
