LA CHANA wins Audience Award at IDFA

La Chana, the Spanish/Icelandic/American documentary by Lucija Stojevic, won the VPRO IDFA Audience Award at the prestigious documentary film festival IDFA in Amsterdam, where it screened in the Panorama section of the festival.

La Chana is coproduced by Gréta Ólafsdóttir and Susan Muska for Bless Bless Productions, a production company based in Iceland and the USA.

The film brings us under the skin and into the mind of La Chana, a talented Gypsy flamenco dancer as she returns to the stage to give a final seated performance after a 30-year break. Along the way, La Chana reveals the secret behind her disappearance when she was at the peak of her career.
