where they say i van make you feel like a woman

Two drag queens and a transgender woman contract to perform a drag show at a resort in Alice Springs, a town in the remote Australian desert. As they head west from Sydney aboard their lavender bus, Priscilla, the three friends come to the forefront of a comedy of errors, encountering a number of strange characters, as well as incidents of homophobia, whilst widening comfort zones and exploring new horizons.

When teenage Priscilla Beaulieu meets Elvis Presley at a party, the man who is already a meteoric rock-and-roll superstar becomes someone entirely unexpected in private moments: a thrilling crush, an ally in loneliness, a vulnerable best friend.

Does that make me a woman? is a hybrid of documentary, performance and poem filmmaking, exploring the contradictions of modern womanhood. Presented through daubed colours and iridescent textures, Evans captures the harshness of feminine expectations, and the lasting imprint of outdated gender roles and stereotypes.
