The Carnival

2021 Movie Documentary

Berger approaches Carnival with painterly precision and vitality, yet the focus is not on the parade itself but on the preparations - the anticipation, the hours leading up to the event where bodies let loose and transform. The film turns the eve into a source of mystery and visual delight.

Marlon Riggs, with assistance from other gay Black men, especially poet Essex Hemphill, celebrates Black men loving Black men as a revolutionary act. The film intercuts footage of Hemphill reciting his poetry, Riggs telling the story of his growing up, scenes of men in social intercourse and dance, and various comic riffs, including a visit to the "Institute of Snap!thology," where men take lessons in how to snap their fingers: the sling snap, the point snap, the diva snap.
