Sundance and other Park City Festivals news, past and future. #sundance @sundancefest KIKI, NYC's Voguing scene, Sara Jordeno's feature debut (U.S. Doc Competition)
**Official Selection - 2016 Berlinale Panorama**
A dynamic coming of age story about agency, resilience and the transformative artform that is voguing, KIKI offers riveting and complex insight into the daily lives of a group of LGBTQ youth-of-color who comprise the "Kiki" scene, a vibrant, safe space for performance created and governed by these activists. Following members of the scene as they prepare for and perform at exuberant Kiki balls in New York City, KIKI highlights the infectious joy of these performances, while also foregrounding the scene's urgent social function as an alternative family structure.
"Often the most rewarding aspect of Sundance documentary screenings are the live onstage introductions and Q&As with filmmakers and subjects. Last year, the band of cinephiliac brothers in Crystal Moselle's The Wolfpack charmed all of Park City. This year, some of the cast of KIKI, Sara Jordenö's doc about New York's contemporary LGBTQ voguing balls, will be following in their footsteps. Twist arms to get to the premiere public screening. KIKI, which will be compared to 1991 Sundance prize-winner Jennie Livingston's Paris Is Burning, is a far more optimistic movie, thanks to its hugely talented and accomplished featured performers, poets and writers, and political activists." - Amy Taubin, Film Comment.com
In this film collaboration between Kiki gatekeeper, Twiggy Pucci Garçon, and Swedish filmmaker Sara Jordenö, viewers are granted exclusive access into this high-stakes world, where fierce Ballroom competitions serve as a gateway into conversations surrounding Black- and Trans- Lives Matter movements. This new generation of Ballroom youth use the motto, "Not About Us Without Us," and KIKI in kind has been made with extensive support and trust from the community, including an exhilarating score by renowned Ballroom and Voguing Producer Collective Qween Beat. 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. 94m.
