Beyond the absurdity of its title and content, Am I Paris? is many things. As a film by Director Redha Medjalekh, starring Scorpion Dancer, it’s a black-and-white love letter to Paris that blends really remarkable physical feats and dance with really good filmmaking. It also features an insanely hairy creature that bounds off buildings, gallops past bewildered pedestrians, and challenges a crowd of street dancers. But perhaps its greatest importance is its brilliantly crafted message about acceptance, living in community, and embracing one another’s differences and idiosyncrasies.  

And as we approach another year, the latter, I think, is a message for us all. Enjoy.
