Press & Updates

As well as being an enormous amount of fun, what’s really impressive about this documentary is the way it so seamlessly brings together so many threads. Forming the spine is the behind-the-scenes story of the making of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. That’s the really fun bit. But fleshing it out – and giving it real heft – is the concurrent story of gay life in Australia from the late 1970s (when the film was conceived) to its eventual launch in the mid-1990s. It’s a fascinating and sometimes heartbreaking journey that ends on a note as joyous as the film it inspired.
