Music On Film: Showcasing inspiring music docs from around the world and special guest speakers selected by The Royal Conservatory.
Amós and Abraham are two 12-year-old
boys celebrated as child prodigies in
Spain’s flamenco scene. While the sui
generis guitarist Amós performs around
the world and composes his own
music, the spontaneous and charismatic
Abraham brings the rich tradition of
flamenco singing to the Caño-Roto
neighborhood of Madrid. The film tells
an intimate story about two different
paths to acquiring virtuosity and the
passing of music and life philosophy
from father to son.
In Spanish, with English subtitles.

FLAMENCO AT 5:15
D: Cynthia Scott | Canada | 1983 | 29 min | STC
This Oscar®-winning short film is an
impressionistic record of a flamenco
dance class given to senior students of
the National Ballet School of Canada by
two great teachers from Spain, Susana
and Antonio Robledo. Beautifully
illuminated, with a dynamic visual style
that emulates the staccato rhythms of
the dance, Flamenco at 5:15 is a thrilling
introduction to this visceral art form.
Special guest: Flamenco guitarist
Jorge Miguel and dancers
Esmeralda Enrique and Martine Lamy will participate in
a Q&A following the screening.
