The birth of naikee

documentary // 20 min // dir. Clémentine Decremps // prod. Laïdak Films // supported by Medienboard / Europe Creative Media // 2024

The film explores key moments in Naikee's quest for identity and freedom, challenging society's rigid heteronormative norms. Naikee reflects on her journey of transition and self-discovery. By reimagining Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus" with other gender-diverse individuals of color, Naikee reclaims her role as a creator, reshaping societal narratives and championing a broader spectrum of identities. Her transformation and artistic expression celebrate diversity and the profound impact of self-representation.
