HRC Movie Night
Paris is Burning (1990) is a documentary showcasing the real life experience of black and Latine trans and queer people as they navigate New York City in the 1980s. The trans identity in the 60s up till now was not recognized or fully embraced by the queer community - because of this trans and drag performers created an underground world of their own through ballroom culture. This film serves as an exposure to students to the world of vogue and ballroom, as well as vital moments in queer history that we want to highlight during LGBTQ history month. As well as fostering conversation afterwards.

Greene is a film and dance artist who grew up on the Monterey Peninsula and now lives in Queens, NY. In this film, NYC-based choreographer Hadar Ahuvia confronts and interrogates the roots of the Israeli folk dances she grew up dancing with her mother, the romanticized stories about her grandparents who settled in Palestine in the 1930s, and the founding mythologies and transgressions of Zionism. Through her work, a web of artistic portraits emerges – Jewish, Israeli, and Palestinian dancers living in NYC grapple with the questions of what we inherit and what we embody to carry forward.
