The Vancouver International Film Festival returns for their 45th year this October 1-11 for another curated season celebrating the best in independent, Canadian, documentary, and international shorts and features.

On the Parisian gay scene, Jim reigns as the sculpted, sun-kissed king of the Gym Queens – until he contracts Heterosis, a mysterious virus turning gay men straight, and finds himself an overnight outcast. With only his awkward, adoring fan Lucien still by his side, Jim races to find a cure before the disease wipes out the community that once worshipped him. Co-directed by Marco Nguyen and Nicolas Athané, this irreverent animated satire premiered at Cannes’ Midnight Screenings and turns self-mockery into riotous, big-hearted comedy.

Thursday, October 1
Doors 8:45 pm | Film 9:15 pm *Start time subject to change. Please arrive on time.

VIFF thanks the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations for their continued stewardship of the unceded and occupied land on which our work takes place. As an organization founded and predominantly directed by settlers and immigrants, we understand our responsibility to seek out and build authentic relationships with Indigenous communities, and to allow this ongoing dialogue to influence our practices.
