‘Romería’ Director Carla Simón Would ‘Love’ to Collaborate With Rosalía Following Latin Grammy Nomination for ‘Flamenco’

Carla Simón says she would love to direct a music video with Rosalía, after her short film “Flamenco” received a Latin Grammy nomination. The recognition has made her curious about music videos, which she sees as a form close to cinema that could let her bring a different visual approach.

“Flamenco”, made for Audiovisual From Spain’s Where Talent Ignites campaign, features dancer and choreographer Rocío Molina and blends contemporary and traditional flamenco. Simón called the nomination a happy surprise, as she is unfamiliar with music awards, and said making the short helped her prepare for her next feature, also about flamenco. She values short films as a freer space to experiment, including with camera movement and choreography.
