Woher kommt Voguing und was genau ist „Throwing Shade“? Dieser wegweisende Dokumentarfilm bietet eine lebendige Momentaufnahme der 1980er Jahre aus der Sicht der afroamerikanischen und lateinamerikanischen Drag-Ball-Szene in Harlem, New York City. PARIS IS BURNING, über sieben Jahre gedreht, zeichnet ein intimes Porträt rivalisierender Modehäuser – vom erbitterten Wettstreit um Trophäen bis hin zu Hausmüttern, die in einer Welt voller Homophobie, Transphobie, Rassismus, AIDS und Armut für den Lebensunterhalt sorgen. Mit dabei sind legendäre Voguer, Drag Queens und Transfrauen – darunter Willi Ninja, Pepper LaBeija, Dorian Corey und Venus Xtravaganza.

“You’ve left a mark on the world if you just get through it.”
The most beautiful movie I've ever seen. Not in aesthetic, but in spirit; watching these stunning men and women live so freely, so safely, and so joyfully in this safe space they've created, a space where they're allowed to be themselves as much as they're allowed to be the dream versions of themselves– it's like a religious experience. There's nothing as wonderful as watching people feeling on top of the world that wants to kick them down. Couldn't help but smile through so much of it– I am warm and full of love!! God bless Pepper LaBeija. Happy Pride, everyone.
