Salão De Baile (This Is Ballroom)

The category is: Movies! THIS IS BALLROOM, directed by filmmakers Vitã and Juru, is a performance documentary that offers an inside look at the universe of ballroom culture around Rio de Janeiro. The community is described as a place of meeting and celebration, but also a space where conflicts can be addressed. Ballroom is a fashion show, a beauty pageant, a dance performance and, at the same time, a battle. But above all, it is a refuge where queer and nonwhite people can take a break from a society that does not give spaces to them.
