Caliban of Sycorax Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Paris is Burning is, for those who don't know, a documentary about the ballroom scene in Harlem in the late 1980's/early 1990's. It chronicles the gay underground of New York, mostly the African and Hispanic American group. It's an amazing film about gay culture in New York, as well as the origins of the terms Reading, Shade, and, of course, Voguing. It features legends who are no longer with us, like Pepper LaBeija, Octavia St. Laurent, and Dorian Corey, among many others. It's an amazing film, and I figured I'd post a discussion topic about it.
