Spanish Steps: Flamenco in a Foreign Land

Synopsis

A warm-hearted documentary about how Britian caught the flamenco bug. Elders of the British flamenco scene recount how they fell into the world of Spanish dancing which shaped their lives and influenced future generations. Personal stories are told against a vivid background of archive footage and photos.

For this documentary, Spanish Steps Film organised a flamenco reunion party in a Soho restaurant, where the flamenco culture had been incubated in post-war Britain. Here flamencos gathered to play, dance, sing and remember the old days.

Cantona Cantona

Director: David Tryhorn, Ben Nicholas

Year: 2026

The most gifted footballer of his generation was finished. Retired in disgrace at 25, he appeared destined for permanent exile from the sport he loved. Incapable of blind obedience, Eric Cantona was a libertine who bridled against conformity whenever he felt its grip tighten. The French branded him unmanageable. But the fire that burned in Eric became the spark to ignite a dynasty at Manchester United. At turns thoughtful and explosive, CANTONA reveals how legendary manager Alex Ferguson channelled the brilliance of this most captivating and unpredictable of athletes. A tale of friendship and fatherhood, Cantona and Ferguson's testimonies reveal how a man misread as hostile and unknowable was finally understood, loved, and forgiven, by the strictest disciplinarian in football.
