Producer Igor Myakotin and Consulting Producer Melody Gilbert Attending
Born in a small Russian town, Jenna Marvin has faced discrimination her whole life. A visionary performance artist, all she wants to do is practice her art and entertain, but is propelled to use her incredible silhouettes to raise awareness and fight against Putin’s state-sponsored homophobia.
Raised in Magdan, home of a formal gulag, Jenna has always found herself on the edge of prevailing attitudes. In college, in St. Petersburg, in Moscow–the frontiers of drag begin with Gena repurposing junk and household items to create fascinating outfits that push boundaries… in public, on the street, in stores, and while facing down dangerous homophobes. Agniia Galdanova’s transformative documentary is a rallying cry against homophobia everywhere, and a stirring portrait of a brave and innovative artist.
