Father Figure
For young black gay men, navigating the world can be a disturbing experience. ‘Being black and gay means being two steps behind in life’ as explained by Guilliano, the founding father of vogue dance community The Kiki House of Angels. In this narrative collage film Guilliano and his friends share personal experiences of homophobia, racism and marginalization in everyday life. Voguing provides a temporary escape from the outside world as well as a sense of community.
