THIS IS BALLROOM

Juru ‎ & Vitã ‎/ 2024 / 94' / Brazil

In 1960s New York, non-white drag performers, excluded from mainstream pageants, created the ballroom scene—a fierce, chaotic competition blending fashion, dance, and defiance. In Rio de Janeiro's vibrant ballroom culture, queer and non-white performers battle it out in categories like face and runway, turning every move into a statement. This film dives into a world where style is survival, capturing the raw energy and unyielding resistance of a community that refuses to be sidelined.
