THE FILM
Move Ya Body: The Birth of House
Elegance Bratton | 2025 | US | 87 mins
House music has become big business, as pop superstars like Lady Gaga and Beyoncé incorporate the euphoric intensity and driving beats of the style into mainstream hits. But house didn’t begin on the beaches of Ibiza or at a stadium show. It was born in Chicago, where the backlash against disco led to the creation of a musical subculture centering Black and queer people. Presented in partnership with NYC Council Member Chi Ossé.
