Queen

A bowling alley, artists, friends, a recording studio, a pregnancy, a baby and universal pop culture, not all necessarily in this order. In Queen, Kathryn Elkin has places, chronology, memories and words clash together. She creates a film of rapid prosody like a bowling bowl thrown at high speed, obliterating the very sense of performance. Written and shot during her own pregnancy and the first months in the life of her child, Queen questions the meaning of this experience for the artist: can being a mother be a performance?
