GAGALAND

2023, China

Yuhan Teng

Equipped with a selfie stick, Pink Hair and his gang of much younger dancers want to show off their performance skills in a live stream. In a cluttered, flashy film full of TikTok filters and effects, director Yuhan Teng shows the familiar tropes of innocent first love and the rapid rise of a factory worker who goes on to become the most famous Gaga dance influencer. This unusual debut film creates a mesmerising and amusing viewing experience and is based, among other things, on the personal experiences of amateur actor Pink Hair, who is a Gaga dance legend in real life.

Ein junges Paar steht in der Abenddämmerung auf einem Dach, mit städtischen Gebäuden im Hintergrund und bunten Lichterketten am Geländer. Der Himmel ist eine leuchtende Mischung aus lila, rosa und blauen Farbtönen.
