Paris is Burning is a 1990 documentary film directed by Jennie Livingston. Filmed in the mid-to-late 1980's, it chronicles the ball culture of New York City and the African American, Latino, gay and transgender communities involved in it.
The film takes a look at the language among these queens and how it is integrated into the ball...
