In Search of the Three Egyptian Princesses was hand-drawn, directed and animated by the artist Allan Booth while he was a student at the Victorian College of the Arts. Showcasing Booth's eccentric and biting perspective, the short film takes audiences back to ancient Egypt to explore the effects of rejecting tradition, possessiveness and ubiquitous American tourists.

In this excerpt, viewers can glimpse Booth's playful style, expressed through his expressive pencil drawings and a sardonic narrator. It conveys an alternate vision of Ancient Egypt through neon colours and bold cartoonish forms popular in the 1980s. The whimsical stylings seen here are echoed in Booth's poster designs for the then-Sydney Gay Mardi Gras (now Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras). He designed the official posters for the 1983 and 1984 festivals, as well as the 1985 party poster.

In Search of the Three Egyptian Princesses features the voices of Booth himself, Brian Hannan, Greg Farovoni, Di Emery, Rosemary Ramsey and Janni Robertson, accompanied by an original score by Murray Bartley. In addition to this short, Booth also produced the cartoon strip Doctor Rhythm Discovers UV (1982), as well as sets and graphic designs for numerous fashion shows, parties and benefits during the mid-1980s. He died from an AIDS-related illness in 1990, and was subsequently memorialised in the photos, monologue and film versions of Sadness by William Yang.
