    A photo of Lucas Hilderbrand standing in front of a window at night next to a quote about the film reading, “‘Paris Is Burning,’ which documents the queer Black and Latinx house ballroom community in 1980s New York City, felt like a revelation when it came out—for its wit, for its humanity, and for its incisive view of American culture at the time. The film exploded in popularity with audiences, influenced new theories of gender performance, and prompted heated critiques of the racial politics of representation. But more than anything, it became an instant and enduring touchstone for generations of queer viewers.

    I re-watched Paris Is Burning last night and it's such a treat. It's a wealth of queer culture, liberation, independence, history and styles. It's just so beautiful, and it clearly holds power over pop culture today (Pose, RuPaul's Drag Race, etc)
