Моя кінодитина поїде у Канни і я, зрозуміло, неймовірно щаслива. Я вдячна @ukrainian_instituteUkrainian Institute за надану можливість і довіру.

Зовні це виглядає як кілька простих речень.
Всередині це значно довша історія, яку я поки залишу за кадром, але ті, хто хоч раз був в девелопменті документального кіно, зрозуміють.

💬«Для мене як для режисерки ця відзнака — дуже особистий і важливий момент. Це не лише про фільм, а про видимість України як країни європейських цінностей. І це, безумовно, досягнення всієї команди, яка працювала, аби ці історії були почуті», — поділилася режисерка фільму Ольга Гібелінда @gibelinda.

Queens of Joy - Official Selection 7th OFN LGBTQIA+ Film Festival London, 7–11 April
A queer documentary following three Ukrainian drag artists as they hold onto identity, freedom, and community during a time of uncertainty.

Monroe, Artur Ozerov (Aura), and Oleksandr Danilin (Marlen Scandal) come together to organise a charity drag show while navigating their own paths of self discovery. Through performance, friendship, and shared purpose, they create space for expression and connection in challenging times.

The film moves between personal stories and collective action, showing how queer expression can bring people together and hold space for visibility and support.

Directed by Ольга Гібелінда @gibelinda. Produced by Іванна Хіцінська @khitsinska
Malanka Studios @malankastudios, WAYA @waya_production , Les Steppes Productions @les_steppes_prod, Films & Chips

Co-production with Суспільне Мовлення @suspilne.media, Сергій Недзельський, Альона Голякова lola_o_la_la, Наташа Мовшович @movshovych

💖 QUEENS OF JOY — PRIX DU JURY LONG MÉTRAGE 💖

Our film Queens of Joy has received the Jury Prize for Best Feature Film at Festival Écrans Mixtes in Lyon (2026).

For us, this is more than a festival award. It is a sign that the stories of Ukrainian drag performers — their freedom, vulnerability, and strength — resonate far beyond Ukraine.

It is about visibility.
About dignity.
About joy that does not disappear even in times of war.

We thank the festival, the jury, and the audience for their support 💫
And we continue our journey across Europe.
