STRIPPERS is a film where fiction meets documentary as a possibility of voicing a memory never seen before.
It is a film which tells the stories of four unknown and forgotten strip teasers of the past. What they have in common is having been filmed during their strip tease shows. These short films are the only things we have of them; we can just guess their age, deduce in which years they lived, but who were they? Seduced by their dances we started to imagine their lives.
Four countries, four strippers, four stories, four lives.
Strippers is a film in episodes made exclusively with archive footage of the past.
Each episode tells about a fictional life-story of a strip teaser. The personal stories of the protagonists are based on original screenplays which take shape basing on available archive materials. Each biography brings us into contact with important moments of History of Europe from the 1920’s to the 1960’s, dealing with facts through fiction. Through this narrative choice we travel through the evolution of the female condition, erotic imagery and the social transformations of the last century.
The aim is to make a film which has the appeal given by fiction with the language of historical documentaries.
