People's Movie Night: "How Do I Look"
The People's Movie Night The People's Movie Night is Wooden Shoe Books' FREE Saturday Night Movie series, running for nearly 2 years now. Every single Saturday, come by at 7:30PM for a political movie, and a cup of popcorn. Wooden Shoe Books 508 s. 5th St. Philadelphia, PA 19147 Saturday November 8th 7:30PM How Do I Look How Do I Look" was created by artistic activist Wolfgang Busch to empower the "Ballroom community," which is known to many from Madonna's video for the song "Vogue" and from the movie "Paris Is Burning." The Ballroom community is one of the most creative and hardest hit HIV/AIDS communities but receives no financial support from governmental institutions and politicians. "How Do I Look" is being used as a tool to create HIV/AIDS awareness, bring the Ballroom community together, gain artistic and human respect, and provide hands-on video production/post production training, to improve the quality of life of community members. The message in "How Do I Look" is that the members of the Ballroom community are creative and professional people making contributions to society by sending strong HIV/AIDS awareness messages through entertainment. The "How Do I Look" project is being called an EduTainment/DocuFeature film because of the complexity of this project and all the elements that it ties together. By educating through entertainment, the producers believe that they can reach youth of all races in many countries through this film by documenting this exciting artistic Ballroom community. (80 Min)
