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. https://www.publicsquarefilms.com/projects/itsokay monthly 0.5 2025-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b772c854c283289c45f82a/334d5334-e72f-4a86-9733-3cb7b8da20a9/its_okay_1.jpeg PROJECTS - IT’S OKAY - SHORT (2024) IT'S OKAY is a quiet take on a very noisy subject: the rise in hate and intolerance, particularly against LGBTQ people – and specifically against drag queens, the subject of 50 anti-drag bills in the US and more across the globe. With remarkable intimacy, we step into the experience of two young brothers, Leo and Mateo, and their first encounter with drag, observing as they navigate this unfamiliar world. https://www.publicsquarefilms.com/projects/how-to-survive-a-pandemic-2022 monthly 0.5 2025-09-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b772c854c283289c45f82a/1654530229842-3WSLP4B7NTMA20MI3K2I/How-To-Survive-A-Pandemic-ADJUSTED_WEB.jpg PROJECTS - HOW TO SURVIVE A PANDEMIC (2022) - WEBSITE HOW TO SURVIVE A PANDEMIC takes an inside look at the historic, multi-national race to research, develop, regulate, and roll out COVID-19 vaccines in the war against the coronavirus pandemic. The documentary began filming in early 2020 as the largest public health effort in history got underway and followed those efforts over the next 18 months, exploring in real time the hard work and collaboration of health agencies worldwide, as well as the political and moral failures of governments to act impartiallyand equitably. https://www.publicsquarefilms.com/projects/welcometochechnya monthly 0.5 2025-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b772c854c283289c45f82a/1639771977355-KFYHQ9QE3DB2G33KCM5G/WelcomeToChechnya_1080x1600.jpg PROJECTS - WELCOME TO CHECHNYA (2020) - WEBSITE This searing investigative work shadows a group of activists risking unimaginable peril to confront the ongoing Anti-LGTQ pogrom raging in the repressive and closed Russian republic. Unfettered access and a remarkable approach to protecting anonymity exposes this under-reported atrocity — and an extraordinary group of people confronting evil. https://www.publicsquarefilms.com/projects/marsha monthly 0.5 2025-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b772c854c283289c45f82a/1640011774706-RD35WV8S88Q7V3LSHHHW/Poster_MARSHA_V21_PRODUCTION_1000.jpg PROJECTS - The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson (2017) - WEBSITE The origin story for the trans movement comes to light as the mysterious case of Marsha P. Johnson, moribund for decades, gains traction with the NYPD. Will bringing closure for the founder of the trans rights movement help stop a record-breaking crime wave against trans women of color? Legendary “drag queen” Marsha P. Johnson, who co-founded the trans-rights movement in 1970, was found dead in the Hudson River 24 years ago, and after failing to provoke a police investigation, her best friend and fellow activist Sylvia Rivera died a few years later, the victim of a broken heart. Now, as decades-old interviews and never-before-seen footage have surfaced, young transgender activists raise new questions about Marsha’s death, and find a deep connection to their shared history. https://www.publicsquarefilms.com/projects/htsap monthly 0.5 2025-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b772c854c283289c45f82a/1640018216928-LZ7Y4UX561313U9LFJUA/HTSAP_Poster_v10.jpg PROJECTS - How to Survive a Plague (2012) - WEBSITE In the dark days of 1987, the country was six years into the AIDS epidemic, a crisis that was still largely being ignored both by government officials and health organizations—until the sudden emergence of the activist group ACT UP in Greenwich Village, largely made up of HIV-positive participants who refused to die without a fight. Emboldened by the power of rebellion, they took on the challenges that public officials had ignored, raising awareness of the disease through a series of dramatic protests. More remarkably, they became recognized experts in virology, biology, and pharmaceutical chemistry. Their efforts would see them seize the reins of federal policy from the FDA and NIH, force the AIDS conversation into the 1992 presidential election, and guide the way to the discovery of effective AIDS drugs that stopped an HIV diagnosis from being an automatic death sentence—and allowed them to live long lives. https://www.publicsquarefilms.com/main daily 1.0 2025-09-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b772c854c283289c45f82a/219e37c8-0b9e-4800-907d-937edcd989fb/CVD_010_210817_Pittsburgh+PA_JP_Paul+Abernathy+.jpg MAIN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b772c854c283289c45f82a/5cea5dd2-6814-4af7-affe-51086593dd3a/W2C_Still_2.jpg MAIN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b772c854c283289c45f82a/a88e7f14-10f1-4927-8412-6da18705139b/W2C_Still_1.jpg MAIN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b772c854c283289c45f82a/fef5e383-796a-4d4e-96f3-f66714b22afd/its_okay_1.jpeg MAIN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b772c854c283289c45f82a/9ab67781-734b-44d8-8da3-c1d85bedc13b/CVD_003_201218_Washington+DC_BW_Peter+Marks+.jpg MAIN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b772c854c283289c45f82a/c71c044a-fa86-4aba-ab16-33ff85b67f22/Queendom%2Bstill%2B7.webp MAIN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b772c854c283289c45f82a/3e115dca-a4cd-43b0-8f7f-ea1f2b33140e/9+NO+BOTDER.jpg MAIN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b772c854c283289c45f82a/e4969ac8-0ec9-4846-bd1c-ab59210822ac/5.jpg MAIN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b772c854c283289c45f82a/92feb0db-0346-4ca7-af59-214007153e7a/6.jpg MAIN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b772c854c283289c45f82a/59df6494-d069-42a1-bdcb-d89fcd8b7ce2/1A.jpg MAIN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b772c854c283289c45f82a/eee05b37-084b-447c-973a-d14f8b41e013/Queendom%2Bstill%2B3.webp MAIN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b772c854c283289c45f82a/d1eb8189-f245-45fb-8ddb-cc1dea20d0aa/4.JPG MAIN https://www.publicsquarefilms.com/team-collaborators daily 0.75 2025-09-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b772c854c283289c45f82a/1649268013543-TBJQJ116K8SDAJVJVJFQ/220208_David_France_Portrait_117_BW.jpg TEAM & COLLABORATORS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b772c854c283289c45f82a/668453c4-dc20-4d87-8413-8869d8427b89/Paul+McGuire+Headshot.jpeg TEAM & COLLABORATORS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b772c854c283289c45f82a/8420e74e-4242-4d88-8542-bf542acc0017/AliceHenty_headshot_by_IgorMyakotin+%281%29.jpg TEAM & COLLABORATORS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b772c854c283289c45f82a/e1d1e447-6d0e-4d50-8730-462807f50613/Jamie+Deradorian-Delia+Headshot.jpg TEAM & COLLABORATORS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b772c854c283289c45f82a/ea19dd80-14ef-4f0c-8124-f1e8e807431d/Jhane-M+HEADSHOT.png TEAM & COLLABORATORS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b772c854c283289c45f82a/065e4b72-f4ef-46a0-84f1-7a1721b9a72d/DH.jpg TEAM & COLLABORATORS https://www.publicsquarefilms.com/contact daily 0.75 2021-12-22 https://www.publicsquarefilms.com/about-1-2 daily 0.75 2022-10-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b772c854c283289c45f82a/1664925404485-2W5TSO9UFPAXFY5EOGRJ/1200x1200bb.jpg https://www.publicsquarefilms.com/video daily 0.75 2023-08-03 https://www.publicsquarefilms.com/supportflp daily 0.75 2023-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b772c854c283289c45f82a/15f2c776-8a17-4cab-9226-69a3b2d41dd3/Public-Square-Films-Logo-_1_.png https://www.publicsquarefilms.com/videos-2 daily 0.75 2023-08-03 https://www.publicsquarefilms.com/videos-2/yoga-for-beginners monthly 0.5 2023-08-03
