Bugis Street (film)

Bugis Street (妖街皇后) is a 1995 directed by Yonfan, about the lives of Singaporean transvestites in a bygone era. A Hong Kong-Singaporean co-production, it was a minor hit at the box office with a sexually-explicit R(A) (in short as Restricted (Artistic)) rating, male full-frontal nudity and its nostalgic evocation of a seedy but colourful aspect of Singaporean culture, prior to the redevelopment of Bugis Street into a modern shopping district and the eradication of transvestite activities in the area.

In 2015, the restored version of the film was presented at the 26th Singapore International Film Festival as Bugis Street Redux.
