Join us for this FREE SCREENING of "Kiki" - a kaleidoscopic profile of New York City’s youngest generation of voguers that premiered to critical acclaim at this year's Sundance Film Festival.
In "Kiki", Swedish filmmaker Sara Jordenö and queer community leader Twiggy Pucci Garçon join forces to showcase vogue’s unabated vitality as a dance form. Offering a behind-the-scenes look at this underground culture and its various rival collectives, including the Opulent Haus of Pucci and the House of Unbothered Cartier, "Kiki" moves beyond the flashing lights and extravagant styles to grapple with the injustices faced disproportionately by LGBT youth of color. Assembled from four years’ worth of footage, this winner of the 2016 Berlinale Teddy Award is an inspiring tribute to a world in which fierce talent and tireless activism go hand in hand.
Film begins at sundown. Music courtesy of legendary ballroom label Qween Beat's own DJ MikeQ before the screening - come early, unwind on the lawn and get your dance on!
