Jim Queen - Love & Anarchy 17.-27.9.2026

A viral epidemic breaks out in Paris, turning gay men into straight men. The animation cooked up in the city's nightclubs is exactly what you'd expect: cheeky, wild, and testosterone-fueled.

A new disease, heterosis, makes gay men dream of wives and football. When the infection threatens the admiration enjoyed by influencer Jim, he embarks on an epic quest to find a cure. Charming but deeply closeted Julian gets pulled into Jim's orbit and may hold the key to everything.

Beyond the satire, the film grapples with tensions between subcultures: everyone under the rainbow is needed in the fight against selfishness and prejudice, and to defend hard-won rights. Through self-irony and playfulness, it challenges the exaggerated idealization of appearance and the judgments made within the community.

The artwork is rich in both color and expression. Animators Marco Nguyen and Nicolas Athané make their feature directorial debut. The voice cast includes artist Philippe Katerine and La Briocheé, the first winner of France's Drag Race.
