Guest host Michael Urwin talks to director Agniia Galdanova about Queendom, in cinemas now.
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.

Felicity Beckett speaks to director Christopher Morris about our latest Green Screen film, A Year In The Field, coming to select Picturehouse Cinemas soon!
From Winter Solstice 2020 to Winter Solstice 2021, a string of unprecedented worldwide climate disasters, met by weak global political resolve, are revealed as fleeting moments under the ever-present, unflinching granite gaze of the Longstone: an ancient monolith that has stood sentinel in a Cornish field for millennia.
Part provocation, part meditation, part invocation, BAFTA-winning documentarian Christopher Morris’ A Year In A Field invites us to slow down as he films for twelve months in the Longstone's field. As the wheel of the year turns, Morris’ 'eco-sophical' polemic unearths a mythic reality buried just below the soil of our consumerist age, suggesting, perhaps, that whilst time may feel like it’s running away at an ever-increasing rate, it’s not too late to pause, reflect, and change.

Felicity Beckett speaks to director Adura Onashile about her new film, Girl, playing at Picturehouse Cinemas now.
Mother and daughter Grace and Ama have established a deep bond that’s protected them from outsiders, but as they try to settle in Glasgow, things begin to change.
Ama’s approaching adolescence and growing curiosity set off reminders of a past that Grace has been trying to erase.
The comforting fairytale-like story that Grace has been telling Ama for years is shaken by the memories — their sheltered world begins to erode from the inside.
To give them both a chance to really start living, Grace has to let Ama grow up.

When Margot (Emilia Jones), a college sophomore goes on a date with the older Robert (Nicholas Braun), she finds that IRL Robert doesn’t live up to the Robert she has been flirting with over texts.
