Cine sin Taquilla: Documentales
- Polígono Sur. 2003. Directed by Dominique Abel.
At a run-down housing estate on the south side of Seville in southern Spain--home since the 90s to the city's Gitano (Spanish Gypsy) community--music and dance flourish. Looking for the roots of the so called "New Flamenco", Abel travels to ‘Tres Mil viviendas’, the most problematic neighborhood of Seville, where the Triana's ancient gypsies are mixed with the new generations of musicians who found the most modern trends of the music with the deep roots of the traditional Flamenco. Director Dominque Abel's film scrapes away this grim public image, to reveal a community that lives and breathes flamenco music.

In Spanish with English subtitles. 107 minutes.
