Flamenco :The Enduring Art of Inesita

Using footage, personal photos, and scrap book memorabilia we travel through time with Inesita as she shares about her distinctive performance career of 8 decades. The title is inspired by a lost short film by NYU students shot in 1962 that aspired to capture Inesita's artistry: 'Inesita: The Art of Flamenco.' This short features footage from a work print from that shoot. Inesita fondly recalls the film students: the director, Robert Siegel, a film professor, and the cameraman, Martin Scorsese. Inesita's unique flamenco experience led her down a path she never sought as Hollywood's go-to professional Spanish dancer. The ever evolving, enduring art of flamenco, was declared in 2010 by UNESCO an 'Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity'. Written by Tina Love
