Paris Is Burning
1991
·
78 min
This landmark documentary explores how voguing and “throwing shade” emerged from New York City’s Harlem drag-ball scene in the 1980s. Over seven years, it follows rival fashion “houses,” where competitors chase trophies and house mothers offer support in a world shaped by homophobia, transphobia, racism, AIDS, and poverty.
