Kiki (2016)

25 years after Paris is Burning, we dive back into the fierce world of voguing battles in the Kiki scene of New York City, where competition between Houses demands leadership, painstaking practice, and performances on point. A film collaboration between Kiki gatekeeper, Twiggy Pucci Garçon, and Swedish filmmaker Sara Jordenö, we’re granted exclusive access into this high stakes world, where tough competitions act as a gateway into the daily lives of LGBTQ youth of color in NYC. The new generation of ballroom youth use the motto, “Not About us Without Us”. Twiggy and Sara’s insider-outsider approach to their stories breathes fresh life into the representation of a marginalized community who demand visibility and real political power.

С изключително интимен и визуално дръзък подход, ‘Кики’ ни разкрива едно неочаквано и безопасно пространство за “vogueing”, създадено и ръководено от цветнокожи LGBTQ млади хора, които не спират да изискват своето щастие и политическа сила. Една вълнуваща история за порастването, взаимопомощта, издръжливостта и силата на изкуството да променя света.

"KIKI" dokumentiert das Leben einer Gruppe junger Schwarze in New York, die die Kunst des Voguings vorführt. Die Kamera bietet einen faszinierenden und komplexen Einblick in den Alltag dieser schwarzen LGBTQ-Gemeinschaft, die die sogenannte "KIKI"-Szene begründet. Es wird deutlich, welch wichtige soziale Funktion als alternative Familienstruktur die Gemeinschaft ausübt.

25 jaar na Paris is Burning duiken we opnieuw in de felle wereld van voguing-battles in de Kiki-scene van New York City, waar de competitie tussen Houses leiderschap, nauwgezette oefening en perfecte performances vereist. Deze film, een samenwerking tussen Kiki-icoon Twiggy Pucci Garçon en de Zweedse filmmaker Sara Jordenö, biedt ons exclusieve toegang tot deze wereld met hoge inzet, waar zware competities een venster vormen op het dagelijks leven van LGBTQ-jongeren van kleur in New York. De nieuwe generatie ballroomjongeren hanteert het motto: "Niet over ons zonder ons". De insider-outsider-benadering van Twiggy en Sara blaast nieuw leven in de representatie van een gemarginaliseerde gemeenschap die zichtbaarheid en echte politieke macht eist.

Jovens negros organizam bailes chamados Kiki na periferia de Nova York. O documentário mostra a vida de homossexuais e transexuais que têm a vida mudada e se sentem acolhidos nesses lugares.

25 anos depois de "Paris is Burning", mergulhamos de volta ao feroz mundo das batalhas de voguing na cena Kiki de Nova Iorque, onde a competição entre Casas pede por liderança, exercícios meticulosos e performances afiadas. Estas duras batalhas servem também como válvula de escape na vida de vários destes jovens LGBT de cor. A nova geração do ballroom usa o lema "sobre a gente sem a gente não". O trabalho da diretora então é mostrar pelo ponto de vista externo/interno como suas histórias emanam energia e vida na representação de uma comunidade marginalizada que exige visibilidade e poder político real.
