Learning on ScreenParis is Burning
- Synopsis
- The 1990 film, directed by Jennie Livingston, catalogues the world of "balls", the huge events that see scores of New York drag queens parading up and down runways in lavish and flamboyant (and more often than not, home-made) costumes. Catty audiences then pass judgment on the fiercest outfits on show. The drag balls were hugely influential in 80s club culture, with the styles on show spreading from New York’s underground to clubs - and beyond - across the world.
