It was the first time ever two women became World Champions in Hip Hop. The two friends start a life of travelling and dancing.<br \/>\nDirector Tora Mkandawire M\u00e5rtens followed the two friends on their path over the course of five years. Her film depicts their love of dance, how their relationship evolves and how their friendship is put to the test. \u00bb<strong>Martha &amp; Niki<\/strong> is also a film about the friendship between two young women of diverse backgrounds. Rather like a Hollywood fantasy it starts out as a success story: their dance battles in the world\u2019s major cities and the flights that take them there.<br \/>\nWe get to know Martha and Niki in the beginning of the film almost wordlessly via gestures, movements and body language. Only when we see their first defeat does the street dance fade to reveal problems that they experience away from the stage. There was no other way, they were at the top right from the outset. People said: they\u2019re world champions already, what more is there to say? There\u2019s a tendency towards fixed ideas about how a story should be told, but I think you can do it in many ways. Yet there is only one way from the top, and that\u2019s down. You can\u2019t be on top all the time. Success produces a sense of saturation, and issues surrounding their situation, different origins and characters start to surface.\u00ab<br \/>\n\u2013 Tora Mkandawire M\u00e5rtens<\/p>\n<p>In cooperation with <em>Kino in U<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Awards for \u203aMartha &amp; Niki\u2039<\/strong><br \/>\nGuldbagge Award for Best Documentary Film &amp; Best Editing \u2013 Swedish Film Institute 2017 | Young Onion Award \u2013 MakeDox, Republic of Macedonia 2016 | Best Documentary \u2013 Durban International Film Festival, South Africa 2016 | Tempo Documentary Award \u2013 Tempo Documentary Festival, Sweden 2016 | Honorary Mention, Best Nordic Documentary Award \u2013 Nordisk Panorama Film Festival, Malm\u00f6, Sweden 2015<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":18409,"template":"","movie_year":[155],"movie_genre":[85],"movie_cat":[289],"festival":[420],"class_list":["post-11822","movie","type-movie","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","movie_year-155","movie_genre-documentary-en","movie_cat-performances-specials-en-2017","festival-2017-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Martha &amp; Niki - Internationales Frauen Film Fest<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/frauenfilmfest.com\/en\/movie\/martha-niki\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Martha &amp; Niki - Internationales Frauen Film Fest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"In 2010 Martha Nabwire and Niki Tsappos took part in the biggest international Street Dance Competition, Juste Debout in Paris.
