SHQFF & Voguing Shanghai Co-presents
Paris Is Burning screening & Voguing Shanghai Performance
如果你也曾在深夜的街头听到一声声浪荡的“鸡叫”,如果你也曾打扮得花枝招展走着猫步扭进舞池,如果你也曾以伶牙俐齿漂亮精准地点评过酒吧外的每一位路人……你应该知道,我们现在之所以能骄傲又自在地“婊里婊气”,首映于30年前的这部《巴黎在燃烧》功不可没。
If you’ve ever heard slutty laughter resonating through the streets late at night, if you’ve ever dressed to the nines and sashayed onto a dance floor, if you’ve ever gossiped about the beauty of each passerby outside a bar, you should know- the reason we’re able to proudly and naturally embody the Queen Bitch persona can be traced back to the release of Paris is Burning 30 years ago.
导演珍妮·利文斯顿大概没有想到,当年的这把“火”不仅一举烧遍全美,还跨越了大洋的距离与文化的藩篱,烧满了一整个世界。这部由女性执导的低成本纪录片,生动灵活地呈现了在艾滋蔓延时期下美国纽约一群以黑人/拉丁酷儿/跨儿为主的社群一手构建的亚文化掠影。它以灵魂的“真”漂亮又潇洒地对抗了“规范社会”里的枷锁,又以社群为“家”传递了一条几乎可以救命的信息:你可能小众,但你并不孤独。
Director Jennie Livingston probably did not expect this “fire” to have ignited the Americas, much less spreading beyond the continent and burning down cultural barriers across the globe. This low budget documentary offers an intimate portrait of an established subculture consisting of queer/trans and Black/Latinx communities living through the AIDS crisis that began to rock New York in the 80s. It uses a spiritually “real”beauty and confidence to resist the constrictive nature of “proper society”, as well as sends a critical, almost life-saving, message: you might be the minority, but you are not alone.
在《巴黎在燃烧》30周年之际,为展示并庆祝社群力量,上海酷儿影展将和Voguing Shanghai一起,于9月24日在44KW推出影片展映+Ballroom活动。当晚除了展映这部酷儿电影的里程碑之作,还会播放由NOWNESS拍摄的Voguing文化短片。

Voguing Shanghai 表演
Voguing Shanghai Performance
在Ballroom的Realness category中,参赛者会尽可能打扮成理想中的某个职业。但无论何种职业,每种职业都有最独特的闪光点,每一位在岗位上奋斗的人也值得被看见。以其为灵感,Shirley Milan将会带领五位舞者化身军官、教师、飞行员、时尚编辑、健身教练进行old way舞蹈表演《All Star》,以彰显真实与自我。
In the Realness category of Ballroom, participants will dress up like their ideal professions. Each occupation has its own way to shine and is worth being seen and heard. Shirley Milan will lead five dancers in dressing up as a military officer, teacher, pilot, fashion editor, and fitness coach, and then performing the old way style of All Star dancing to showcase their true selves.
