Neue Notiz
Shakedown
‘Shakedown’ was a series of parties founded by and for African American women in Los Angeles that featured go-go dancing and strip shows for the lesbian underground scene, which came to an end abruptly. In 2002, director Leilah Weinraub started shooting the predominant footage of this documentary, showing the protagonists dancing, backstage and in interviews. Displaying footage that was shot over the course of more than six years, this intimate chronicle reveals that ‘Shakedown’ was more than just a strip club; as one of the few spaces for lesbian subculture, the club brought together and galvanised a community of outsiders and queers of colour.
