Kiki

Sara Jordenö / SE, US, 2016 / 94 min.

poster Kiki (Sara Jordenö, SE/US 2016)
25 years after voguing first drew attention to itself, a new generation of young LHBTQ+ people have created an artistic, activist subculture, the flamboyant Kiki Scene on Christopher Street Pier in New York. For actors, poets, authors and political activists it is THE place to express themselves. Upbeat, truly inspiring, funny, energetic and moving: Kiki is an uplifting documentary that provides new energy to this fabulous underground culture.
