"Queendom" is a captivating documentary by director Agniia Galdanova that explores the life and art of Gena Marvin, a young queer artist from Russia.
Crafting fantastical costumes from everyday materials and tape, Gena stages provocative public performances in Moscow, challenging societal prejudices and patriarchal norms. Her art blends elements of theater, circus, and avant-garde performance, creating unique images that are both alluring and thought-provoking. The film not only showcases Gena's courage and determination in her quest for freedom of expression but also offers a profound insight into contemporary Russian society and the challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community.
"Queendom" is an inspiring tale of the power of art and the human spirit, poised to touch audiences' hearts and prompt reflection on the importance of personal freedom and self-expression.
Made it to the 2025 Oscars shortlist.
The film will be shown in Russian with English subtitles.
