SALÃO DE BAILE THIS IS BALLROOM

In the organizer's words:

Juru and Vitã, Brasil 2024, 94 Min., Portuguese with English subtitles

Dive into the electrifying world of Brazil's ballroom scene! In Rio de Janeiro City and its outskirts, LGBTQ+ youth of color recreate Ballroom culture on their own terms. This upbeat tribute showcases a universe where LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities defy repressive social constraints through creativity and style. 50 years after its inception in New York, it is a portrait of the dramas, the voguing performances, and the art of shade. Meet Rio's key players in this sweaty, delightfully unruly film that celebrates movement and resistance. Rio is burning!
