Cast: Andrzej Szwan a.k.a Lulla La Polaca
Recommended accessibility: 12+
At a time when RuPaul had never dreamed of becoming a drag star, the seductive Lulla La Polaca was already breaking one heel after another on Polish stages. In the 1970s, the country was in the throes of communism, but that didn't stop the country's oldest drag queen from living out her stardom. And despite turning 80, she hasn't lost her charm even today.
The flamboyant lipstick and wig lover craves true love and new experiences, and so they date with gusto. A playful soul full of joy and hope, only a fading body can throw a spanner in the works. Together with Andrzej aka Lulla, we'll go on a trip down memory lane, go to Pride, experience a drag show at home and of course change dozens of iconic outfits in the process.
This funny, subtle yet direct documentary tells the inspiring story of an extraordinary man who never gave up his youthful lifestyle or ideals under any circumstances.
As a pre-film, we will screen Karl Friis Forchhammer's short film What to Do When the Trains Are Coming (2016).
Five school-age boys spend their free time in front of a wall painted with graffiti. In a crude environment near the railway tracks, we follow a rap in the making. The schoolboys' free speech and immediate lyrics, accompanied by a mobile phone soundtrack, suggest much about how they perceive the world.
