Septembers / Septiembres Series: Spanish Cinema Now Director: Carles Bosch, Country: Spain, Release: 2006, Runtime: 120 When Carles Bosch, director of the Oscar®-nominated Balseros, went to visit a friend in a Madrid-area jail, he was stunned at what was going on there: a full-blown karaoke competition for the inmates. Among the participants of the 2005 Festival of Song that Bosch went on to film are Adalberto, a gay Argentinean whose grandmother thinks he’s on a cruise; Rudolf, a Lithuanian incarcerated for forgery; Gardoqui, a former drummer for a well-known ‘80s rock band; and Arturo, a Spanish roma (gypsy) with a wife and three children. They and the other competitors literally sing their hearts out, putting extraordinary expression and emotion into their renditions of popular love songs as they create brief moments in which their individual lives and dreams shine through. For over a year, Bosch followed the stories of his subjects, even traveling to distant points around the globe to seek out the men and women to whom the prisoners’ plaintive love songs are addressed. Despite the film’s setting in a prison and the hard-luck lives of its subjects, Septembers is a joy to watch, a true celebration of the power of love.
