"Where does voguing come from, and what, exactly, is throwing shade? This landmark documentary provides a vibrant snapshot of the 1980s through the eyes of New York City’s African American and Latinx Harlem drag-ball scene. Made over seven years, PARIS IS BURNING offers an intimate portrait of rival fashion “houses,” from fierce contests for trophies to house mothers offering sustenance in a world rampant with homophobia, transphobia, racism, AIDS, and poverty. Featuring legendary voguers, drag queens, and trans women—including Willi Ninja, Pepper LaBeija, Dorian Corey, and Venus Xtravaganza—PARIS IS BURNING brings it, celebrating the joy of movement, the force of eloquence, and the draw of community."

"More than 40 years before RuPaul's Drag Race, this ground-breaking documentary about the 1967 Miss All-American Camp Beauty Pageant introduced audiences to the world of competitive drag. The film takes us backstage to kiki with the contestants as they rehearse, throw shade, and transform into their drag personas in the lead-up to the big event.

Organized by LGBTQ icon and activist Flawless Sabrina, the competition boasted a star-studded panel of judges including Andy Warhol, Larry Rivers, and Terry Southern…But perhaps most memorable is an epic diatribe calling out the pageant's bias delivered by Crystal LaBeija, who would go on to form the influential House of LaBeija, heavily featured in Paris Is Burning (1990).

A vibrant piece of queer history, THE QUEEN can now be seen in full resplendence thanks to a new restoration from the original camera negative."

"[A] fantastic time capsule from 1968…This documentary is a fascinating piece of history, captured in a style that is very much of-and ahead of-its time." - Gary M. Kramer, San Francisco Bay Times"

"What is a drag king? What is the Drag King Conference? Simply speaking, a drag king is a woman who dresses in a male persona for theatrical purposes. A Drag King Extravaganza, however, reveals that being a drag king is not so simple. This performance art has exploded into a complex and fascinating movement which centralizes around an annual drag king conference called the International Drag King Community Extravaganza (IDKE). Within this conference, gender, sexuality, race and ability are explored through in-depth discussions and provocative performances. This documentary provides a reflexive look at "what is a drag king" and a personal journey inside their conference. Interviewees include Christopher Noe, Kentucky Fried Woman, Mel Corn, Deb 'Dirk' Pearce, Flare, Julie 'Jake' Applegate, Toe B, Sile Luster / Lustivious Dela Virgion, Erin Tarr, Big Papa, Ken Vegas, Dante DiFranco and many more."

"From Emmy®-nominated filmmaker Chris Moukarbel (Gaga: Five Foot Two, Banksy Does New York, Me @ the Zoo), this feature documentary offers a vibrant cultural history of drag and the annual outdoor festival that came to epitomize it: Wigstock. Drawing on unfiltered access to some of New York’s most famed drag artists – tenured veterans and talented newcomers alike – WIG follows legendary drag queen Lady Bunny as she aims to resurrect Wigstock for a new generation.

The film also features appearances by its co-producers, actor Neil Patrick Harris and his husband David Burtka, who, as longtime fans Wigstock, try to help Lady Bunny with its revival. Showcasing footage of vintage drag performances from the ‘80s and ‘90s, the film takes a close-up look at the underground counterculture that gave birth to Wigstock and set the stage for the modern drag of today.

With icons like RuPaul informing the language, look and attitude of drag, the film explores drag’s influence on pop culture, and how it has become mainstream and trendy in the process. Featuring exuberant, bedazzled performances from Wigstock’s past and its present, WIG is an uplifting, irreverent and provocative celebration of inclusivity and respect: for art, for each other, and for those who paved the way.

"SUPERSTAR IN A HOUSEDRESS examines the life and legend of Warhol transvestite superstar Jackie Curtis who was a poet, playwright, performer, and one of the great personalities of his time."

From Kanopy:

"P.S. BURN THIS LETTER PLEASE explores a demi-monde that would have been lost to time were it not for the chance find of a treasure trove of letters in a storage bin in LA. Written by drag queens all using aliases to a friend (who turns out to be famous and revealed at the end) who moved to LA, the film is a voyage of discovery of the irreverence, fun, kinship, and all manner of illicit activity which made up the drag scene in the late 50’s in NYC. Over several years, the filmmakers pieced together the jigsaw of who the various letters’ authors were and matched them with archival material and eventually with current day interviews. The result is a big-hearted, guilty pleasured escape to a bygone era."
