Pole

Directed by Araceli Seagar

Director Araceli Seagar's documentary short takes us inside a pole dancing studio in Bonn, Germany, where women find in this much-misunderstood art form a profound source of empowerment, self-expression, and community. Through intimate portraits of the studio's members, Pole dismantles stereotypes and reveals pole dancing as a serious athletic and artistic discipline. A respectful and illuminating documentary for fans of feminist filmmaking.
