The award-winning documentary Queendom follows Gena, a queer artist from a small town in Russia, who stages radical performances in public that has become a new form of art and activism, putting her life in danger.

Directed by Agniia Galdanova, Queendom world premiered at the SXSW Film Festival, followed by screenings at BFI London Film Festival, Sydney Film Festival and IDFA; and opens in theaters and on June 14, 2024 via Greenwich Entertainment.

Jenna Marvin, a queer artist from a small town in Russia, dresses in otherworldly costumes and protests the government on the streets of Moscow. Born and raised on the harsh streets of a frigid outpost of the Soviet gulag, Jenna stages radical and dangerous performances in public to change people’s perception of beauty and queerness and bring attention to the harassment of the LGBTQ+ community. Queendom is a breathtaking portrait of creative courage.

“I’m proud and excited to be working with Greenwich Entertainment to share this important coming-of-age story of this fearless artist Jenna Marvin who celebrates queerness and fights Putin’s regime,” states director Galdanova. “Her art is unique, rebellious, and hopeful, while her life story is urgently timely.”

Queendom is produced by Agniia Galdanova and Igor Myakotin ( Welcome to Chechnya) with executive producers Jess Search ( Citizenfour), David France ( How to Survive a Plague), Arnaud Borges ( C’est tout pour moi), and James Costa (Hidden Letters ). It is a Galdanova Film production in association with Sundance Institute Documentary Film Program, International Documentary Association, InMaat Productions, Doc Society, and Sopka Films. Greenwich’s Andy Bohn negotiated the acquisition with Submarine’s Ben Schwartz on behalf of the filmmakers.
