# Calle 54 (2000)

2000 · 105 min · Documentary, Music · France, Italy, Spain


## Synopsis

Calle 54 is a 2000 documentary film about Latin jazz by Spanish director Fernando Trueba. With only minimal introductory voiceovers, the film consists of studio performances by a wide array of Latin Jazz musicians. The film takes its name from Sony Music Studios, where much of the film was shot, which are located on 54th Street in New York City. "The Latin World, so vague nowadays, mainly for the worst reasons, finds its most noble, exalted, sophisticated, and exuberant expression through jazz. This music has given me so much pleasure and has helped me like no other. Calle 54 is my way of paying a debt. And, as I've always believed that the main function of art is to help people to live, I've tried in this film to transmit the joy of this music and my passion for it." - Fernando Trueba
