Comfort Zone is the latest short film by Paris-based director Jordan Blady. Exploring the vibrant drag community in Tbilisi, Georgia, the documentary looks at the blossoming drag ball scene through the eyes of activist and performer Matt Shally. We dive into his personal journey of self-acceptance, first as his emotional and aggressive drag alter-ego Victoria Slutyna and then as his true self, Matt in a Dress.
The film also highlights the resilience of the queer Georgian community. Regardless of the homophobic threat and attacks of the past few years, the Tbilisi’s LGBTQ+ community has refused to give up existing and having a voice and place in Georgian society.
