This landmark documentary provides a vibrant snapshot of the 1980s through the eyes of New York City’s Harlem drag-ball scene. Made over seven years, Paris Is Burning offers an intimate portrait of rival fashion “houses,” from fierce contests for trophies to house mothers offering sustenance in a world rampant with homophobia, transphobia, racism, AIDS, and poverty. Featuring legendary voguers, drag queens, and trans women - Paris Is Burning brings it, celebrating the joy of movement, the force of eloquence, and the draw of community. (1990, 76 mins)
