SUMMARY:
DESCRIPTION:Director: Elegance Bratton\nProducers: Chester Algernal Gordon\, Elegance Bratton\nU.S.\, 92 min \nThe defining story of Chicago’s house music scene is finally here. Summer 1979: In the chaos of Comiskey Park’s “Disco Demolition Night\,” teenage usher Vince Lawrence witnesses a fiery scene: Thousands of people are throwing records\, mostly by Black artists\, into a bonfire. Undeterred by the display of racist and homophobic hostility\, Vince saves his money to buy a synthesizer\, setting in motion a life’s journey that would forever impact the sound of music. Mixing interviews with house music pioneers and compelling cinematic recreations\, Move Ya Body offers a revelatory chronicle of house’s humble roots\, explosive influence\, and inevitable exploitation\, all the while celebrating its unique power to liberate listeners and bring people together. A “compelling” (USA Today)\, “clear-eyed\, crowd-pleasing\, and loving tribute” (Screen)\, the film “blends civic and music history effortlessly while also having a truly banging soundtrack. You will learn a lot\, get angry several times\, and then get lost in the sick beats and dance yourself clean” (RogerEbert.com).
