Watch: Parisian Voguing Short Film “Realness with a Twist”
In advance of Red Bull Music Academy Paris 2015, Paris Now! is a new foray into fiction film, and it gathers a diverse group of directors that we’ve given carte blanche to explore and examine the creative pockets and reverberations of Parisian culture. These films are not documentaries but demonstrations, personal stories reflecting the breadth of contemporary Parisian creative expression. It’s the perfect outlet for telling the story of a city with so many layers, disciplines, energies and audio frequencies on display.
Realness with a Twist tells the story of a young man (Kendall Mugler) searching for identity and acceptance as he splits time between the bland banlieues and the profane thump of the Parisian voguing scene. Check out an interview with Cieutat about the film here.
