Documental: Paris Is Burning (1990)

Cuando la Biblioteca del Congreso de Estados Unidos incluye tu película en la lista del Registro Nacional de Cine, eso quiere decir que has creado una obra de una importancia cultural significativa. “Paris Is Burning” es una película indispensable en la riquísima cultura LGBTQ en la que la directora Jennie Livingston expone de una manera sumamente didáctica un variopinto mundo de drags, desfiles y casas a la manera de las de Harry Potter en la que sus líderes y lideresas (los integrantes de este movimiento son personas gays, negras y latinas) aceptaban y protegían a chicos y chicas (las casas siempre eran conformadas por nacidos y nacidas como varones), abandonados y despreciados por sus familias de origen.

El documento, filmado entre 1988 y 1989, expone las luces y sombras de estos eventos, así también como la constante situación de vulnerabilidad de niños y adolescentes que, además de vivir en un entorno en el que la discriminación racial y la pobreza extrema los acompaña desde su nacimiento, deben afrontar la inesperada realidad de una orientación sexual o una disforia de género que no buscaron. Jóvenes que sólo persiguen la felicidad y la dignidad en un contexto complicado en el que, además, la sombra del VIH viene desparramándose sobre la comunidad desde los comienzos de esta década.

Casi la totalidad de esta película histórica está conformada por adultos, ¿por qué, entonces, tiene espacio en este blog? No por su legado perdurable durante más de tres décadas, sino porque expone la desprotección de la infancia y la adolescencia LGBTQ. Además, la película presenta a dos chicos que son entrevistados al ser hallados vagando solos a altísimas horas de la noche: uno, que lleva remera azul, tiene quince años y su compañero, que usa una musculosa blanca, trece. Nunca confirma demasiado, pero en este video de la usuaria Princess Armani, cuya información puede ser tomada con precaución, da algunas respuestas: la principal de ellas es que hoy están bien, al menos el niño de azul. La siguiente, que en el momento de la filmación de la película, ambos eran pareja y que éste, al día de hoy, no tiene noticias sobre el paradero de su compañero.

Qué mejor manera de celebrar el posteo N° 200 que hablando de este indudable hito.

"This is me, you understand? No, I am not a woman. No, I am not a man. I am Octavia." #OctaviaStLaurent Born March 16, 1964 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ (PART 1, more parts on @therelevantqueer ) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #Dragperformer, model, and educator Octavia St. Laurent was prominent in the balls and #ballroomcommunity of New York City and Harlem. Director #JennieLivingston featured St. Laurent in the documentary #ParisisBurning (1990), after which she became very well known. #Gendertheorist #JudithButler wrote of St. Laurent’s presence in the documentary. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ St. Laurent often told conflicting stories of her childhood, but it is known she was born in Brooklyn, New York, on March 16, 1964. She claimed jazz legend #LouisArmstrong to be her uncle, and that her mother sang for the Crystals. While St. Laurent identified as a #transwoman, and early on proudly claiming to be a man, she came to identify as #intersex and then #transgender. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “A lot of transgendered and pre-op transgendered are a little shocked about my attitude in regards to not wanting to be a woman, and taking that role of womanhood. I’m no damn woman, don’t wanna be no woman. I stand up and piss in the bathroom, I don’t sit down, you know what I’m saying?” St. Laurent once said. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ultimately, her views changed with the times. “When you are true to yourself, people look at you in a different way. Basically, I love who and what I am, and I wouldn’t be anything else.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📸 Cred On #therelevantqueer⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #queeringthecanon #queerexcellence #dragperformer #trans #HouseofStLaurent #ballculture #dragculture #womenofcolor #transexellence #blackexcellence #blacklivesmatter #transvisibility #amplifyqueervoices #queerheritage #queerhistory #importantqueerstories @ia_troy_wise @5by5forever #troywise #rickguzman https://instagr.am/p/CbLqYGWNtrq/
