Jim Queen
Handsome, shallow, and ultra-muscular, Jim Queen is a gay influencer content to live off his looks. Thin, insecure, and closeted, Lucien is one of Jim’s many followers. When the gym-bod god gets infected with Heterosis — a drug manufactured by the far-right that causes heterosexuality — the two men must join forces and find a cure for straightness before Jim’s online clout runs out.
Brought to life by directors Marco Nguyen and Nicolas Athané, JIM QUEEN is a perfect satirical creation: Jim’s vanity and superficiality make for a great sendup of gay “body fascism”. Of course, the filmmakers reserve much of their scorn for homophobic conservatism, and the inversion of homo- and heterosexuality is provocative and hilarious. From the opening musical number to the spoof of conversion therapy to an outrageous Trojan-horse gag and beyond, JIM QUEEN is a raucous delight.
Audience Award, VIFF 2026
“An adoring celebration of queer culture and a spoofy critique of internet fame, ‘Jim Queen’ is strictly for grown-ups who don’t need polite jokes to laugh with and at its lovable characters. It’s a riot.” (ELLE Magazine)
“It’s an animated charmer that blends raunch and warmth into a memorable gem.” (RogerEbert.com)
“‘Jim Queen’ has the tender heart of a Disney classic and the raging libido of that one unmentionable weekend in Puerto Vallarta.” (Cinapse)
