Forgotten the Queen

About This Movie

Forgotten the Queen is a curious little short that blends animation and collage in ways that feel, well, strangely alive. It’s wrapped in the ethereal themes of Edith Swan Neck’s life, which gives it a haunting quality. The visuals are a chaotic but compelling mix, thanks to Eden's artwork, which Glenn Whiting animates in a way that really captures that sense of flotsam and jetsam. The pacing feels deliberately off-kilter, almost dreamlike, while Edith’s gaze on the shadows above brings a poignant depth. What I find distinctive is how it doesn’t shy away from the darker corners of history and emotion, and instead, it brings them into a tangible space.

Forgotten the Queen remains a bit obscure in the collector’s scene, with limited distribution and a quirky aesthetic that doesn’t fit neatly into any genre box. The film has garnered interest for its unique animation style and thematic depth, appealing to collectors who appreciate avant-garde and experimental works. It’s one of those lesser-known gems that might not be widely available, making it a fascinating addition for those who enjoy digging into the more eccentric corners of animated storytelling.
