To kick off this 20th edition of Courts Mais Trash in style, we’ve decided to go big. That’s why we’re opening the Queer Mais Trash festival with a Long Mais Trash feature: Les Reines du Drame by Alexis Langlois, presented at the last Cannes Festival. In 2022, Langlois won the Grand Prix Queer Mais Trash for his short film Les Démons de Dorothy.
Synopsis:
The year is 2055. Steevyshady, a hyper-botoxed YouTuber, recounts the incandescent destiny of his idol, pop diva Mimi Madamour, from her peak fame in 2005 to her downfall, fueled by her love affair with punk icon Billie Kohler. Over half a century, these queens of drama sang their passion and rage under the spotlight.
An audacious film that sets the tone for this year’s programming. Both the director and Bilal Hassani will attend, engaging with the audience to share this work that challenges conventions and embodies the spirit of Courts Mais Trash: freedom of expression, innovation, and defiance of norms.
