A journalist upends Japan’s entrenched codes of silence when she brings sexual assault charges against a well-connected member of the Japanese media elite. Against the wishes of many of those closest to her, Shiro Ito presses on with her case, bravely confronting an entire system. Her case becomes a landmark in Japan, and her choices a riveting reminder of the insidiousness of sexism and patriarchal oppression anywhere.
The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with filmmakers and special guests.

QUEENDOM
Jenna grew up in the desolate Siberian town of Magadan, and did what innumerable queer young people around the world do— depart for a major urban center that promises a more inclusive environment. Except in Putin’s Russia, the criminalization of LGBTQIA+ people renders even a Moscow art school hostile to Jenna’s elaborately original, creative art and activism. Nevertheless, her sense of loss from her severed roots in Magadan is possibly her greatest challenge.
The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with director and producer Agniia Galdanova, producer Igor Myakotin, film subject Jenna Marvin, and EP David France.
