Mini Basic Bitch and Flashback Friday - Queendom

We're continuing our celebration of Pride month and wanted to remind you that the Frameline Film Festival (the longest running and largest LGBTQIA film festival in the world) is currently happening in SF and Oakland until June 29th! We start off this episode with our experience at opening night, and encourage you to find the list of events and buy tickets here!

We're flashing back to the South By Southwest (SXSW) Festival in Austin, Texas, to a powerful and entertaining film that you can stream from the comfort of your home right now!

Queendom is a documentary that follows Gena Marvin, a queer artist from a small town in Russia, as she wears costumes and stages performances that blend a new form of art and activism- and the dangers she faces as a result. We were joined by director Agniia Galdanova and producer Igor Myakotin to discuss how they met Gena, how they kept their crew safe while filming her in public, and the complications that were added while filming during the start of the war in Ukraine.
