“Paris is Burning is a film by Jennie Livingston which is, I think, one of the greatest nonfiction films ever made. It’s a film that I can go back to at different points in my life, and it’s just a film about accepting and community, and it’s such a wonderful, wonderful film and it’s shot so well. I watched this for the first time when we did, like, a film Festival in my film school, when we were protesting and it was shown in one of the protest screenings.”
