Documentary on La Niña de la Puebla to screen at Seville European Film Festival
The documentary 'Acuérdate de mí', directed by Remedios Malvárez, will be featured at the Seville European Film Festival within the Panorama Andaluz section. The film explores the life and artistic legacy of Dolores Jiménez, the legendary flamenco singer known as La Niña de la Puebla.
Starring Adelfa Calvo, the granddaughter of the singer, the documentary utilizes personal family memories and previously unreleased audio recordings. The project was built upon cassette tapes recorded by Calvo during her youth, which contained interviews and conversations with her grandmother.
Filmed across Málaga, Seville, and Córdoba, the production aims to portray Jiménez beyond her public persona, highlighting her life as a blind, liberal woman, entrepreneur, and matriarch. The film seeks to reclaim the personal history of a central figure in 20th-century flamenco while emphasizing the role of women in the genre.
