Documentary Evening: Paris Is Burning (1990)

Join us for a unique movie experience when we screen 'Paris Is Burning' - before the world struck a pose, they owned the runway.

After the movie, you're welcome to stick around for a drink and share your thoughts on the film.

🎞️ About the Movie:
Paris Is Burning dives into the vibrant world of 1980s New York ballroom culture, where Black and Latinx queer and trans communities gathered to walk, vogue, and compete for glory in elaborately staged balls. Through intimate interviews and raw street-level storytelling, the film captures the struggle for identity, beauty, and recognition in a world that pushed them to the margins, offering a powerful portrait of expression, resilience, and the roots of a cultural revolution.

Directed by: Jennie Livingston
Duration: 1h 18m
