For Pride Month, Funeral Parade is proud to present The Angelic Conversation, Derek Jarman’s sensuous cinematic love poem.
 
Made in the tradition of Jean Cocteau and Kenneth Anger, this Super 8mm daydream is by turns erotic, nightmarish, and ethereally beautiful. Made between arthouse classics The Tempest (1979) and Caravaggio (1986), this film grew out of a series of home movie improvisations and experiments which Jarman subsequently woven into a haunting tapestry of images and textures – he would later say that it was his personal favourite of his own film work. Featuring the music of Coil and Shakespearean sonnets read by Judi Dench, The Angelic Conversation remains a powerful and stirring meditation on the nature of desire and romantic love.

For Pride Month, The Prince Charles Cinema and Funeral Parade are proud to present Paris is Burning, Jennie Livingston’s invaluable document of NYC’s drag scene during the 1980s.

This landmark documentary provides a vibrant snapshot of Black and Latine queer life in Reagan’s America. Made over seven years, the film follows rival fashion “houses” and examines the drag community’s rituals of balls and “voguing” – flamboyant acts of resistance in the face of the AIDS crisis and rampant homophobia. Featuring ballroom legends such as Willi Ninja, Pepper LaBeija, Dorian Corey, and Venus Xtravaganza, Paris is Burning remains a classic of both documentary and queer cinema.
