X Soleá

Directed by Miguel Buenrostro
Duration 20’19 | Spanish with English subtitles

Andalusia's border position, as a distant neighbor of North Africa and a maritime entry and exit point during colonial and imperial periods, brings together traditions in constant transit. X Soleá is a listening documentary shot in three cities of Andalusia in southern Spain. In an exercise of urban drifts, interviews with key agents, and interventions in specific sites, the film develops questions related to the migratory condition of music, an aural transit that in the work is referred to as "trans-audition."

Miguel Buenrostro is a filmmaker and artist whose work moves across sound, migration, and memory. He has presented work at transmediale (Berlin), the Singapore Biennial, the Thailand Biennial, the MexiCali Biennial, Museo Casa del Lago (CDMX), among others.
