As
Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon, our only link was a satellite dish
in rural Australia with a few bugs (And a few hundred sheep)...
Based on a true story, "The Dish" recounts the emotions, drama and humor behind the four-day Apollo XI mission in July 1969 and the extraordinary role that Australia played in televising the historical lunar landing to the world...


Produced by the team who crafted the critically acclaimed independent film "The Castle," "The Dish" opened in Australia to a phenomenal response from both critics and audiences alike, breaking box office records to become the fifth highest grossing film in the history of Australian cinema. "The Dish" recently earned awards for Best Screenplay and Best Music from the Film Critics Circle of Australia.

And one of the best dressed movies of all time...
It's
the Australian film that blitzed overseas box offices. It caused a near
riot at the Cannes Film Festival. It won an Academy Award. It's fun,
daring, over-the-top and unforgettable. It's a road movie with attitude
and the occasional frock.
The story is set with two
drag-queens (Anthony/Mitzi and Adam/Felicia) and a transsexual
(Bernadette) contract to perform a drag show at a resort in Alice
Springs, a resort town in the remote Australian desert. They head west
from Sydney aboard their lavender bus, Priscilla. En route, it is
discovered that the woman they've contracted with is Anthony's wife.
Their bus breaks down, and is repaired by Bob, who travels on with
them...
