Marina Brings 'Diosa' to London in First International Screening

Marina, the Barcelona-based drag artist who gained international recognition on Drag Race Spain, is set to appear in London later this month for the first overseas presentation of her new documentary, Diosa.

The film will screen on February 16 at The Garden Cinema, marking a rare opportunity for UK audiences to see the project alongside its creators.

A Special Screening During LGBTQ+ History Month

The London event forms part of LGBTQ+ History Month and is being hosted by the Society of Spanish Researchers in the UK, in collaboration with Instituto Cervantes London.

Following the screening, Marina will take part in a post-film discussion and audience Q&A alongside director Cyprien Clément-Delmas, offering insight into the making of the documentary and its themes. For Clément-Delmas, Diosa represents his first feature-length film as a director.

Exploring Identity Beyond the Gender Binary

Diosa traces Marina’s life and work as a non-binary drag artist, documenting her journey through performance, self-definition, and personal transformation. 

Born Joan Galo, Marina has become a prominent figure within Barcelona’s queer community, known for challenging conventional ideas of gender through drag.

The film weaves together documentary footage, staged performance, and archival material to explore drag not only as an art form, but as a means of survival and self-expression. 

Themes of family, belonging, and the tension between masculinity and femininity run throughout the narrative.

From Festival Favorite to International Premiere

Before arriving in London, Diosa has circulated exclusively on the international festival circuit. The documentary premiered in the Official Selection of the Atlàntida Mallorca Film Festival in 2024, where it began to build a reputation as a potential cult title within contemporary queer cinema.

The London screening will mark the first time Marina and Clément-Delmas present the film to an international audience together, signalling a new chapter for the documentary as it reaches viewers beyond Spain.
