עִבְרִית
פריז בוערת (באנגלית: Paris is Burning) הוא סרט תיעודי אמריקאי מ-1990. הסרט צולם במהלך שנות ה-80, והוא מתעד את "תרבות הנשפים" (באנגלית, Ball Culture) של העיר ניו יורק, ושל הקהילות הטרנסג'נדריות, האפרו-אמריקאיות, הלטינו והגיי שהיו מעורבות בתרבות זו. אנשים רבים שהיו חלק מ"עידן הזהב" של נשפי הדראג מחשיבים את הסרט הזה לאחד התיעודים החשובים של התקופה, וכן לחקירה מעמיקה לנושאי גזע, מגדר, ומיניות בארצות הברית.‏

Español
La película explora las 'Houses' del barrio neoyorquino de Harlem de finales de los 80. Una 'House' es una sociedad de gays y drag queens (drag queen en el sentido neoyorquino del término que incluye a las travestis), que tiene forma de banda callejera. Las 'Houses' están formadas por una 'mother' o madre y los y las 'children', hijos e hijas, la función de la madre es la de presidir la sociedad y aconsejar y mirar por sus integrantes. Los 'Balls' son los bailes que organizan las 'Houses' en los 'Ballrooms' (literalmente salones de baile) que se convierten en una especie de club para reunirse y competir entre sí. "Paris is burning" refleja el fenómeno de los 'balls' desde 1987 hasta 1989 cuando ya ha llamado la atención de los medios de comunicación y las industrias culturales perciben beneficios de lo que súbitamente es la nueva moda.

Pусский
Документальный фильм о геях — чернокожих и латиноамериканских трансвеститах и транссексуалах, живущих в Нью-Йорке. Мы узнаем, как они на самом деле живут, любят, о чем мечтают. Они называют себя Детьми. Они — посыльные, продавцы, проститутки, безработные… Как многие черные и испаноговорящие геи, у них 2 мира: один дневной — мир дискриминации и бедности, другой — ночной, где присутствуют яркие костюмы, танцы, шоу.

Português
Uma crônica da cena de arrasto de Nova York na década de 1980, com foco em bolas, voguing e as ambições e sonhos daqueles que deram à época seu calor e vitalidade.

Український
Фільм розповідає про життя, кохання та мрії нью-йоркських геїв, темношкірих і латиноамериканських трансвеститів і транссексуалів у 1980-х роках. Самі вони називають себе «дітьми» і сподіваються на толерантність оточення до себе. У них два світи: день, який є світом бідності і дискримінації для продавців, кур'єрів, безробітних або повій, та ніч — світ яскравого шоу з танцями, нарядами і свободою власної гей-культури в нічному клубі, у своїй компанії…

Français
Un documentaire sur les drag queens de New York. Des homosexuels noirs et des latinos se déguisent en femme et inventent une nouvelle danse imitant les poses des modèles sur les couvertures des magazines.

Nederlands
Documentaire over New Yorkse dragnights, waarbij de onderklasse alle dubbeltjes omdraait om de ander qua schoonheid de ogen uit te steken en het gevoel van eigenwaarde te versterken.

普通话
  1989年,在纽约,电影人珍妮•利文斯顿以一部《巴黎在燃烧》记录了地下舞场的奢糜场景。影片是一部夜店时尚大片,也是对那些因勇于追求自我而被逐出家门的同性恋、跨性别者的一份家一般的慰藉。虽然笼罩在艾滋病与偏见的重重阴影之下,《巴黎在燃烧》依旧为我们带来了一场炫魅与激情,梦想与渴望的盛宴。它更是引领着迷失的人们不屈畏惧而继续前行、不屈审视而继续闪耀、不屈于世俗而勇做自我。

한국어/조선말
1987년 뉴욕, 흑인과 라틴계 게이, 트랜스젠더들이 이끌었던 ‘드래그 신’에 관한 영화. ‘볼‘의 참가자들은 그들을 거부했던 가족을 대신해줄 '하우스'를 중심으로 활동하며, 경쟁하는 카테고리에 따라 의상을 입고 분장을 하고 포즈를 취하는 등 역할에 적합한 ’진실성‘을 표출한다. 성별 이분법적이고 이성애 중심적인 사회가 만들어 놓은 언어로는 규정되지 않는 ‘불온한 존재’들을 그린다.

ქართული
დოკუმენტური ფილმი გეი შავკანიანთა და ესპანელ დრაგ-ქუინებზე და ნიუ-იორკში მცხოვრებ ტრანსსექსუალებზე. ჩვენ გავარკვევთ, როგორ ცხოვრობენ ისინი სინამდვილეში, როგორ უყვართ, რაზე ოცნებობენ. ისინი საკუთარ თავს ბავშვებს უწოდებენ. ისინი არიან მესინჯერები, გამყიდველები, მეძავები, უმუშევრები... ბევრი შავკანიანი და ესპანელი გეის მსგავსად, მათ აქვთ 2 სამყარო: ერთი დღისით - დისკრიმინაციისა და სიღარიბის სამყარო, მეორე - ღამით, სადაც არის ნათელი კოსტიუმები, ცეკვები. აჩვენებს.

Türkçe
1980'li yıllardaki New York'taki uyuşturucu trafiğini ön plana alan yapım; bir grup kafadarın yaşam biçimini sunuyor. 80'li yılların sıcaklığını barındıran filmin yönetmen koltuğuna ise; ilk yönetmenlik deneyimini belgesel sinema üzerine yapan Jennie Livingston üstleniyor.

Français
Portrait de drag-queens de New York et de leur culture des « maisons », qui procure un sentiment de communauté et de soutien à ces artistes flamboyants et souvent rejetés socialement. Les groupes de chaque maison s'affrontent lors de bals élaborés qui s'inspirent du monde de la mode. Le film aborde aussi les questions du racisme et de la pauvreté.

Português
Documentário filmado em meados dos anos 80 e só finalizado em 1990. "Paris is Burning" é uma crônica sobre a "ball culture" de New York e as minorias culturais que participavam e organizavam este evento: comunidade homossexual latina e afro-americana. Ball Culture foi uma "cena underground" muito específica, onde se misturava desfile de moda com habilidades de dança como o breakstreet, movimentos hieróglifos do Antigo Egito e ginástica olímpica. A enigmática cantora-performer Grace Jones utilizou desta cena para compôr seu estilo.

Magyar
Dokumentumfilm, mely azoknak az embereknek az ambícióira és álmaira fókuszál, akik a nyolcvanas évek második felében New York báljain léptek fel, és megadták a korszak melegségét és vitalitását.

Using the story of the Red Star Line as a narrative vessel, this three-part documentary by Daniël Cattier and Fabio Wuytack explains why European emigrants left their homes behind for an uncertain future. It details their trips to Antwerp, their travel across the ocean, and their adjustments to their new lives in America. Theirs are intimate yet epic journeys in which past and present merge in the forging of new identities. The film, which is shot on location in Antwerp, New York, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Russia and Ukraine, uses ‘emotional archaeology’ to weave a richer narrative than could be conveyed through a string of facts and figures. And walking in the footsteps of Red Star Line passengers, surprising similarities are revealed to the experiences of modern immigrants.
