Paris Is Burning documents the culture of drag balls in New York City, circa the mid-to-late 1980 s. Gay and trans ball children compete in categories ranging from High Fashion to Military Realness to Luscious Body, living a fantasy or sometimes simply displaying their beauty. A predominantly African-American and Latino scene, the balls began to attract the spotlight with the mainstreaming of the dance form voguing. The film itself would become one of the most popular queer films and most commercially successful documentaries of the 1990 s.
The film introduces audiences to legendary House mothers (Pepper Labeija, Dorian Corey, Willi Ninja, and Angie Xtravaganza) and younger upcoming participants (Venus Xtravaganza, Octavia Saint Laurent, and Freddie Pendavis) on the ball circuit, as well as a number of the terms of the subculture (Realness, which is a form of passing; House, which is an alternative family of competitors; Mopping, which means stealing; and Shade and Reading, which are witty forms of insult). Comprised of interviews and footage from balls, the film is structured topically rather than chronologically and builds from introducing the ball scene and its competitive categories to documenting the ball participants family structures, professional aspirations, and gender identities. The films first half focuses on the culture of the balls, and the second half expands to the public world beyond the balls. The film concludes with an epilogue that presents Willis triumph in achieving international success and Venuss tragic murder. Thematically, the film touches upon such issues as race, gender, class, alternative families, labor, dreams, and cultural appropriation. In particular, the ball walkers performances of different identities in competition and their transitions in real life have prompted general audiences and academics alike to reflect upon the fluidity of identity and the politics of cross-cultural representation.
