Dir: Stephan Elliot, Australia
Mitzi Del Bra (Hugo Weaving), a Sydney drag artist, accepts an invitation from his ex-wife to bring his stage show to the outback. After recruiting two friends, a brash young drag queen called Felicia (Guy Pearce) and an aging transsexual called Bernadette (Terence Stamp), they set off for Alice Springs in a second-hand bus they dub `Priscilla, Queen of the Desert’.
