Sian Clifford gives a larger-than-life performance as a narcissistic aristocrat who hires a struggling filmmaker to record her every move, in Samuel Abrahams’ eccentric mockumentary.

A lonely, narcissistic aristocrat dupes a struggling, opportunistic director into filming her every move. Her obsession with the spotlight takes a surreal turn when she starts becoming… invisible. Blending mockumentary and magical realism, Lady satirises our desperate need to feel seen, remain relevant and hold on to our sense of self.

Part of Decline in Style | From Victorian extravagance to contemporary satire, these films explore aristocracy as a form of performance. Characters cling to visibility through costume, spectacle, filmmaking and social ritual, revealing class not as a stable identity but as an ongoing act of self-invention. What remains when status survives only as theatre?
