EU SOU FEIA MAS TO NA MODA / I'M UGLY BUT TRENDY (2005)

If you haven't watched this do check it out.

EU SOU FEIA MAS TO NA MODA is a film by Denise Garcia feat. Tati Quebra Barraco, Deise Tigrona, Vanessinha do Picachu, Valeska Popozuda, Cidinho e Doca, DJ Marlboro, Bonda faz Gostoso, Mr Catra, Ramona & many more including yours truly.

It was made with practically nothing... a super funk carioca/baile funk doc with a post-feminist look on the usually male-dominated 'bass debate' featuring frank conversations with the artists involved & superb music. It also tells you the story of the beginnings of the 'funk sensual' scene of the early 2000's in Rio with brilliant insights on what would come next.

We had the honor to produce the UK parts & premiered it at The Brady Arts Centre in East London to a full house back in 2005 as part of the Slum Dunk Film Program and later on with a special screening plus Q & A with Denise at the Whitechapel Gallery for our Tropical Punk show.

The rest is history! (or silence? or post-production...)
