Premiere of Fernando Trueba documentary ‘Bajañí’

Overview

Director Fernando Trueba premiered his music documentary, ‘Bajañí’, in the Official Section of the San Sebastián International Film Festival. The film, which was presented out of competition, serves as a musical tribute to Spanish guitarist Niño Josele.

Trueba designed the project to put cinema “absolutely at the service of music,” utilizing a structure without dialogue that relies on musical performances to drive the narrative. The documentary follows Josele’s artistic journey through locations such as Madrid, Almería, New York, Sao Paulo, and Rio de Janeiro, using his guitar as a connective thread across three musical acts.

The film features collaborations and performances by various artists, including Caetano Veloso, Rubén Blades, Marisa Monte, Ron Carter, and Kenny Barron.
