Wigstock: The Movie is a 1995 documentary film focusing on Wigstock Lady Bunny’s iconic annual drag festival that had been held in New York City’s East Village through the 1980s and 1990s. The film presents performances from the 1994 festival as well as going behind the scenes, examining the rehearsal process of a number of the performers including the legendary Lypsinka & the “Wigstock Dancers.” Performers, members of the crew, and attendees are interviewed about their experiences at the festival & speak about the importance of drag and transgressive gender expression in their lives.
