PREVIEW Queendom + Q&A
Institute of Contemporary Arts
Queendom, dir. Agniia Galdanova, USA/France 2023, Russian with English subtitles, 97 min.

Gena, a queer artist from a small town in Russia, dresses in otherworldly costumes made from junk and tape, and protests the government on the streets of Moscow. 

Born and raised on the harsh streets of Magadan, a frigid outpost of the Soviet gulag, Gena is only 21. She stages radical performances in public that become a new form of art and activism. By doing that, she wants to change people’s perception of beauty and queerness and bring attention to the harassment of the LGBTQ+ community. The performances - often dark, strange, evocative, and queer at their core - are a manifestation of Gena’s subconscious. But they come at a price. 

This Preview screening is followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Agniia Galdanova, hosted by Emma Corrin.
