Authority: Art FIFA – Festival Int’l des films sur l’Art
Name: Grand Prix for the documentary LA CHANA
Description: « Dans un cinéma sur l’art qui fait encore trop peu de place aux artistes femmes, pour la leçon de vie et la réflexion essentielle sur l’art, pour l’humanité, pour le montage qui relie subtilement le passé au présent, pour la trame narrative efficace qui trace un portrait nuancé et touchant d’une danseuse exceptionnelle et passionnée qui a voué son âme et sa vie toute entière au flamenco. Pour la tension de la finale où la danseuse âgée remonte une dernière fois sur scène, avec la même passion, au péril de sa vie… Pour ce riche moment d’émotion cinématographique ! »
