시놉시스
Who are the chicks that make up the funk movement, and where are they? Funk has always been a form of protest, just as being a woman is. BEAT IS PROTEST: FUNK FROM A FEMALE PERSPECTIVE depicts the last decade underground scene of the funk women protesters in São Paulo. The testimonies come from transgender and cisgender women who navigate this universe in different roles, such as singers, DJs, beat-makers, producers, entrepreneurs, rappers, and dancers, and also from drag queens.
“마이클 잭슨과 다이애나 로스, 퀸시 존스가 재해석한 『오즈의 마법사』 뮤지컬 버전.” 평범한 가정에서 자라왔고 지금은 독립을 꿈꾸는 스물네 살의 도로시. 그런데 어느 날 그녀에게 상상도 못한 일이 벌어진다. 눈보라가 몰아치던 밤, 도로시는 강아지 토토를 찾으러 나갔다가 거대한 회오리 바람에 휘말려 어디론가 날아간다. 그리고 비현실적인 장소에서 정신을 차린 도로시는 충격적인 광경과 마주한다. 도로시가 부딪혀 떨어트린 조명 구조물에 누군가 깔려 죽고 만 것이다.
동화 『오즈의 마법사』를 과감하게 각색한 뮤지컬 영화. 거장 시드니 루멧이 연출하고 퀸시 존스가 음악감독을 맡아 원작의 동화적 풍경을 빌딩숲, 지하철, 공장 등 대도시의 인공적이고 삭막한 풍경으로 바꾸어놓았다. 또한 허수아비로 분장한 스무 살의 마이클 잭슨이 춤을 추고 노래를 하는 모습을 볼 수 있는 것 역시 에서 놓칠 수 없는 부분.

How and whence could all of this emerge in a Soviet socialist republic? How did a brand new music scene, original in sound and philosophy in every way, and at the same time absolutely in sync with global music trends come forth?
