VIKA! (2cl SOMMERKINO 2024)

In the organizer's words:

POL/BRD/FIN 2023, documentary film, 74 min.

Director: Agnieszka Zwiefka.

Language: OmU (Polish with German subtitles).

DJ Vika is 84 and the star of Warsaw's nightclubs. She refuses to grow old and sit at home or bow to the expectations of others. Instead, she wants to celebrate life, enjoy herself and the music - preferably in the queer scene. When she looks back on her life, there is a decent job, her children and a difficult childhood. She has never lived just for herself. It was only after she retired that she began to completely reinvent herself and only do what she was passionate about.

A music film, a documentary and the portrait of a woman who wants to detach herself from her past and just live in the moment. In the process, director Agnieszka Zwiefka and Vika also deconstruct the roles that are socially ascribed to women, especially in old age. Dancing to Vika's beats of life means freeing oneself from the restrictions imposed by society and age.
