The Queen Has No Crown (2011) is a deeply personal documentary directed by Tomer Heymann. Over the course of ten years, the director follows his family, capturing their lives, experiences of migration, and familial bonds. The film explores themes such as belonging, migration, identity, and sexuality, while also addressing broader social issues like the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the tensions between secular and ultra-Orthodox communities in Israel. Heymann blends archival footage (8mm and 16mm) with contemporary shots to present an intimate and powerful narrative that reflects both the complex dynamics within his family and the larger societal context.
