Vegas in Space (Philip R. Ford, 1991, 1h25min)
One of the first truly queer midnight movies, Vegas In Space is a campy, psychedelic, and loving homage to 1950s and ‘60s B-movie sci-fi, featuring an all-star cast of San Francisco artists and performers from the 1980s queer underground, most notably Doris Fish, Miss X and Tippi – the infamous Sluts a Go-Go.
Directed by Phillip R Ford, photographed by Robin Clark, filmed in 1983-85 and released in 1991, it predated the drag explosion of the 1990s and influenced a generation of fans worldwide, including Ru Paul, Heklina, Peaches Christ, Sasha Velour, D’Arcy Drollinger and many more.
