This documentary goes deep into the fascinating world of New York's queer scene making use of dance competition footage and interviews with energetic young people who use terms such ass “heteronormativity” and “gender deconstruction” in a striking manner. Twenty-five years after the classic Paris is Burning, Kiki sheds light at the glaring changes this scenario has undergone. Teddy Award, Berlin, 2016.
