Paris is Burning

Are you ready to get your life, Lakeshore? We are screening the legendary documentary, Paris is Burning, on Monday, March 27th at 4:30PM in the Lake LGBTQ+ Resource Centre (WEL211). There will be food and fierce looks. You don't want to miss this!

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. Some 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.
