In the organizer's words:

Presented by Afrika Film Festival Cologne

THIS IS BALLROOM (SALÃO DE BAILE)

BRA 2024 - 92 min. - OmeU - FSK 12 - Director: Juru and Vitã

Guests: Black & Queer NRW

This lively documentary by Juru and Vitã takes us through the vibrant ballroom culture of Rio de Janeiro. Through the influence of the Afro- and Latin-American
LGBTQAI+ subculture of the USA, where Ballroom originated, and Brazilian elements from various regions, a cultural cuvée has developed that continues to mature like a fine wine. There, dance, music, fashion and performance intertwine and lead to a kind of catharsis for marginalized queer and racialized communities. "We portray our community as a place of gathering and celebration, but also as a space where conflicts can be resolved. "THIS IS BALLROOM won the Diversity Film Award at the Africa Film Festival Cologne 2024.
