ALIVE & KICKING (Tutti pazzi per lo Swing)

by Susan Glatzer (Svezia/USA, 2017 – 88 min., o.v. English with Italian sub.)

SXSW Film Festival Grand Jury Award

>Prenotazione online

Alive and Kicking gives the audience an intimate, insider’s view into the culture of the current swing dance world while shedding light on issues facing modern society. 
The film follows a select group of swing dancers who actively participate in competition around the world. This documentary provides a snap shot of what it’s like to be a competitive dancer and why the dance brings joy to so many people around the world. There are great moments in the film that let the viewer experience laughter, joy, and even sadness and empathy for the difficulties some of the dancers have been through. Overall, though, the experience as a whole is energetic and will make even a non-dancer understand why so many people love swing dancing.

“I will stop dancing when my feet won’t move anymore!”, Frankie Manning, Legend of Swing.
