Flag, Fan, Poi & Floguing Dance
Director: Wolfgang Busch
Documentary, Color, 84 min.
USA 2003-2011

This labor of love ”Flow Affair” feature film is a new and unusual multi-cultural Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender urban contemporary pop culture documentary. Disco historian and DJ Man Parrish, community leaders Xavier Caylor, George Jagatic, Isa Isaacs, Felipe Grandinetti and Kevin Omni provide you the inside and the richness of the Flag, Fan, Poi and Floguing trendsetting underground tribal dance community in New York City, San Francisco and Sao Paulo in Brazil. They demonstrate the passing down of this over thirty year old Greenwich Village ”Flamingo” and the ”Saint” gay disco dance tradition and its evolution.

Diese mit Hingabe produzierte spielfilmlange Dokumentation, ”Flow Affair”, beschreibt eine neue und ungewöhnliche multikulturelle, urbane zeitgenössische Popkultur aus der Lesben-, Schwulen-, Bisexuellen-, Transgender-Szene. Disco-Chronist und DJ Man Parrish, die in der Gemeinschaft angesehenen Persönlichkeiten Xavier Caylor, George Jagatic, Isa Isaacs, Felipe Grandinetti und Kevin Omni lassen uns in das Innere und auf den Reichtum der Tanzgemeinschaft des Flag, Fan, Poi und Floguing blicken, dem Trendsetter in der Tansszene in New York City, San Francisco und Sao Paulo in Brasilien. Sie zeigen, wie diese Gay-Disco-Tanztradition seit über dreißig Jahren weitergegeben und entwickelt wird, ausgehend von den Clubs "Flamingo" und "Saint" in Greenwich Village.
