"It's humanizing to be this close together." HBO has debuted the official trailer for the indie documentary titled Wig, a film celebrating the early days of New York drag culture and the ways in which it contributed to today’s understanding of queerness, art and identity. This premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year and it debuts on HBO later this month, for those who want to check it out. Made by the director of the docs Banksy Does New York and Gaga: Five Foot Two, Wig is about an annual drag festival known as "Wigstock", which first launched in 1984 and ran until 2001. Now it's back and the return of the biggest drag performance ever appeared last summer. Wig explores the origins and the influence of the historic fest through rich archival footage, as well as provides a look into the contemporary drag movement for which the festival served as a foundation. This looks energetic, upbeat and totally wild, both as a festival and to watch. ›››
