A vibrant director of the new French queer cinema, Alexis Langlois makes films that are angry and alive, and insist you stand up and take notice. Reminiscent of the bold visual style and queer anarchy of filmmakers like Gregg Araki, Bertrand Mandico, video artist Ryan Trecartin, and “Filth Elder” John Waters, Langlois’s defiantly anarchic, politically militant shorts celebrate the jubilant creativity of LGBTQ+ communities. His films may focus on telling minority stories but they revel in the universality of popular culture, a shared language that Langlois is ultimately intent on queering. This love of pop culture, especially from the ’90s and ’00s, is evident in practically every frame, which is raucously saturated with references to music videos, supernatural sitcoms like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, horror films, and the totems of queer culture.
