QUEENDOM

Gena, a 21-year-old queer artist from a small town in Russia, dazzles in otherworldly costumes she crafts from tape and found materials. As Putin’s government increasingly encroaches on the rights of LGBTQ+ communities, Gena takes to the streets of Moscow, staging provocative performances that challenge the status quo. But her artistic activism comes at a price as political tensions in Russia escalate, jeopardizing her own personal freedom.

Director Agniia Galdanova’s vivid documentary delves into Gena’s extravagant subconscious creations and her search for free expression, illustrating how unleashing one’s inner world can create ripples of change.

This film will be followed by a Q&A.
