About this Event
🎬 Movie Night: Paris Is Burning
Join us at The Music Box for a special screening of Paris Is Burning the landmark documentary capturing New York City’s ballroom culture in the late 1980s.
Directed by Jennie Livingston, the film offers an intimate look into the lives, creativity, and resilience of Black and Latino LGBTQ+ communities who shaped the ballroom scene through fashion, dance, performance, and self-expression. Decades later, its influence can still be felt across music, pop culture, nightlife, and contemporary creative culture.
Following the screening, we’ll host an open discussion reflecting on the themes explored in the film - from identity and community to performance, artistry, and cultural legacy.
Whether you’re discovering the film for the first time or revisiting a classic, this is an opportunity to experience an essential piece of cultural history in a shared setting.
