About this Event
Join Lavender Lens and The Bakery on February 19th at the Supermarket for a screening of an iconic queer flick. This month we will be watching Paris is Burning.
About the Film:
Directed by Jennie Livingston, This documentary focuses on drag queens living in New York City and their "house" culture, which provides a sense of community and support for the flamboyant and often socially shunned performers. Groups from each house compete in elaborate balls that take cues from the world of fashion. Also touching on issues of racism and poverty, the film features interviews with a number of renowned drag queens, including Willi Ninja, Pepper LaBeija and Dorian Corey.
