Paris Is Burning is a 1990 American documentary
film directed by Jennie
Livingston. Filmed in the mid-to-late 1980s, it chronicles the ball
culture of New
York City and the African-American, Latino, gay,
and transgender communities
involved in it. Many members of the ball culture community consider Paris Is Burning to
be an invaluable documentary of the end of the "Golden Age" of New York City drag balls, as well as a thoughtful exploration of race, class, gender, and sexuality in America. [Wikipedia]
