Synopsis:

Bambi is a French documentary film, released in 2013. Directed by Sébastien Lifshitz, the film is a profile of Marie-Pierre Pruvot, an Algerian-born trans woman who had a long and prominent career as a dancer and showgirl in Paris in the 1950s and 1960s, under the stage name Bambi, before becoming a university professor.

Bambi has been perpetual reinvention - from her childhood in Algeria through her Parisian cabaret period to her 25 years as a public school French teacher. An inspirational life of determination illustrated by archive footage gathered from a super-8 diary Bambi kept for some thirty years, personal photographs and current footage. Bambi was born in 1935 as a boy named Jean-Pierre…

Lifshitz' documentary is all about the extraordinary life of the French music-hall star and a transsexual pioneer (just try to imagine her life during the 1950?s). She quietly acquired university degrees at the Sorbonne in Paris and then went into stealth-mode, becoming a professor of literature and a writer.
