On the occasion of Cambodia’s “Pride Month” we screen PARIS IS BURNING (75 min, English). Jennie Livingston’s landmark 1990 documentary broke ground for representing queer experiences, particularly those of queer Black and Latinx men. The director 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.

PARIS IS BURNING gives audiences a very real look at the gauntlet that transgender people endure, and while life has improved for LGBTQ+ peoples since this film’s release in 1990, most of the discussions in this incredible documentary still ring true in the modern world.

Free Entrance!

Happy Pride!
