The Event (2003, Canada)

Liz Couvade has seen this and gives this report:

Director: Thom Fitzgerald
Principal Cast: Don McKellar, Parker Posey, Brent Carver, Olympia Dukakis
TG Cast: unknown, supporting cast not listed at IMDB or Sundance. One major supporting part was a drag queen character named China Bob (I think). The film's end credits rolled by quickly but listed several established professional drag performers in the cast as "Drag Queen."

Sundance 2003. Drama about AIDS and assisted suicide in the New York gay community. The multi-level title refers to a party held for McKellar's character, culminating in his suicide. In addition to China Bob (?), who has extensive screen time and dialog, there are several drag queens as extras at the party.
