Double Feature: Burn the House Down & Fabulous

This dynamic double feature presents a show stopping pair of dance docs from France. Centering around the ballroom scene of Paris, Vice Media's riveting Burn the House Down — making its world premiere at Frameline43 — offers a peek at the fire that illuminates the City of Lights' underground vogue scene; Fabulous paints an electrifying portrait of legendary international voguing star Lasseindra Ninja, who leaves behind her House, community, and the big city ballroom scene of Paris to bring vogue instruction to her rigidly traditional homeland of French Guiana.
