The Codpast!

In the second edition of their Pride series, Jack and Sean look at the ground-breaking documentary Paris Is Burning. Directed by Jennie Livingston, it charts the lives of the gay, trans, Latino and African American communities that laid the foundations for the ball culture in New York in the 1980s.

This documentary follows the lives of those who take part in the balls and gives the viewer a unique insight into the culture, preparation, and indeed hardship that many of these exceptional individuals went through daily. Using footage of the balls and one-on-one interviews, Livingston tells their stories and gives a voice to what is now one of the most mainstream forms of expression in the 21st century.

Sean grab your mascara, Jack get your hair extensions and the sewing kit out of storage, because we are going to the ball- The drag ball that is.

Drag Kids is an insightful and conscientious documentary charting the lives of four children you love drag. We get a look into the lives of these kids from some of their huge social media followings, to their parent’s unconditional support in the face of adversity, to eventually seeing them get to walk in front of a live audience. This documentary looks at how this form of expression is received through the eyes of the people who live it- the parents and the children themselves and serves as a testament to the art and community as a whole.
