Where:	Central Cinema 21st & Union www.central-cinema.com
What:	The Underground Railroad Film Series http://www.langstonblackfilmfest.org/UndergroundRailroadFilm presents: How Do I Look? US 2006 80min documentary directed by Wolfgang Busch. "A documentary 10 years in the making about the over 35 year old Harlem "Ball" community, How Do I Look picks up from where Paris Is Burning left off, the new school of Vogue champions play fast and loose with their fierce identity. The rollcall of participants in this extraordinary testimony to difference reads like a Who's Who of fabulousness. Kevin Aviance, Jose Xtravaganza, Mystery Royale, China Blue, the legendary Willi Ninja, who died in 2006. My favourite line - 'Truth cannot change no matter how much they cut it off' - is delivered as part of the gritty/ glamorous testimonies of trans people of colour, including Tracy Africa, the Irving Penn-discovered 70s supermodel, until she was found out. At which point the doors closed. Voguing is arguably one of the most powerful expressions of Black and Latino identity. Personal. Powerful. Inspirational." http://www.myspace.com/howdoilooknyc How Do I Look flyer
