This collection will make it possible to finish the film and to present it in festivals. I have been criss-crossing for filming in the Parisian Nights over the past months at my own expense. The film is supported by Bulle Production The association Bulle Production supports this crowdfunding operation and will ensure the management of donations and the follow-up of the production budget. The representation and the place of women are at the core of Chriss Lag’s work, especially when questioning, jostling or deconstructing the traditional image of women, whether in art, sport or in the media. Her films, fictions and documentaries have been selected in several international festivals and aired on television (Canal +). Along the way, I met other Drag Kings, other performers playing with gender roles whom I want to tell you about in this documentary.Ĭhriss Lag is a director, journalist and a photographer. The cast of Drag Race France has officially been announced, and 10 fierce French queens will be competing for the title of France's First Drag Superstar. While the film was touring in several film festivals across the world, I kept filming Louis(e) de Ville exposing, exploring and exploding gender codes. Meeting them made me want to move back behind the camera to direct a documentary: “Louis(e) de Ville portrait of a bad girl!”. On stage, Wendy as a pin-up gets hit on by a young guy in baggy pants, a teenager who turns out to be Louise. There are encounters that change your life: in 2007 I came to meet as a journalist Wendy Delorme and Louis(e) de Ville. Besides, beyond these practical and theoretical approaches Wendy Delorme will propose new avenues well worth exploring. Mister, the film gathers a broad range of outstanding personalities with exciting backgrounds. Whether experienced performers as Victor and Louis, passing on their experience and sharing political ideas, gender explorers like Tom and Fred, or burlesque performers like M. Following French Drag Kings on stage and behind the scenes, this documentary aims at shedding light on their artistic practices: how they approach their work, how transformations linked to Drag King performance impact their lives. Drag Kings use the codes of masculinity to consciously deconstruct their own codes of femininity and challenge the very idea of gender roles.Īlthough Drag Kings have been occupying cabaret stages across the Atlantic and on the other shore of the English Channel for a long time, they don’t enjoy the same visibility in France. In addition to a state-of-the-art chassis, French had procured a potent Disomma Racing Engines twin-turbo Hemi for power and partnered with X275 superstars Rich and Nick Bruder Rich to drive, Nick to tune making for a certifiable player in the radial arena. It is a person who dresses as a man and impersonates male characteristics, performing a male character at the occasion of shows or workshops.
