Wim Wenders’s groundbreaking popular music documentary Buena Vista Social Club was first released in 1999. Over the course of several months, the director and musician Ry Cooder accompanied the famed group of Cuban musicians from their home in Havana to their triumphal concert at New York’s Carnegie Hall. Nominated for an Academy Award for best documentary film, Buena Vista Social Club won in the same category at the European Film Awards, and received the German Film Prize in Gold, Germany’s Golden Camera, and the Grand Prize for Film in Brazil.
