This Place We Rule
Together with young director Amy Todorovska, Elejandro Martinez, Father of the House of Vineyard takes you on a visual journey through the beating heart of the ballroom community. In this short film ‘This Place We Rule’, made in collaboration with Hiphophuis, a kaleidoscope of unique individuals from the Dutch ballroom scene invites you into their natural habitats. From the rich history that shapes their movements to boldly claiming their space, they share personal narratives that illuminate the community’s resilience. Martinez weaves a narrative thread that touches on the crucial need for safer spaces and intimate exploration of identity and history.
