Thank God Its Queer screens Georgian dance masterpiece AND THEN WE DANCED (2019)! Free for Hollywood Theatre and Movie Madness Members! Levan Gelbakhiani plays Georgian dancer Merab, who, with his best friend Mary (Ana Javakhishvili), has been training for years for a spot in the National Georgian Ensemble. But the arrival of a beautiful new dancer (Bachi Valishvili) throws Merab off balance, sparking intense rivalry, romantic desire, and a dance to Robyn's "Honey" that risks his future.
Addressing homosexual taboos in the traditionally hypermasculine art form of Georgian dance, the production of this film faced death threats, protests, and was even choreographed anonymously after being universally blacklisted by the Georgian dance society. AND THEN WE DANCED is a stunning, sweet, sad, sexy film, and a massive cultural achievement.
