"Paris is Burning" film screening

Paris is Burning (Jennie Livingston, USA, 1990, 71 mins) chronicles the ball culture of New York City and the African-American, Latino, gay, and transgender communities involved in it. Critics consider the film to be an invaluable documentary of the end of the “Golden Age” of New York City drag balls, and a thoughtful exploration of race, class, gender, and sexuality in America.
