Queens of Joy + Q&A
2025 | Ukraine, France, Czech Republic | 90 min
by Olga Gibelinda
“Queens of Joy” is a debut film about self-discovery, personal freedom and the power of community. It tells the story of three Ukrainian queer people: Monroe – a trans woman and icon of the Ukrainian queer scene, Artur Ozerov aka Aura – a drag artist and military man and Oleksandr Danilin aka Marlen Scandal – a legendary figure of Ukrainian drag culture. In times of full-scale war, they unite to organize a charity drag show in support of Ukraine and its defenders, proving that art and culture can be a powerful weapon of resistance and solidarity.
