About The Shiny Shrimps Strike Back / La Revanche des Crevettes Pailletées

Following the first Shiny Shrimps film, this new chapter turns its spotlight on state-sponsored homophobia and hate crimes as well as Putin’s oppression of the LGBT community. Two years on water polo coach Matthias (Nicolas Gob) decides to take Selim (Bilal El Atreby), a youngster he believes to be gay, to the Gay Games in Tokyo along with the Shiny Shrimps. Missing their flight connection, they are grounded in remote Russia, the start of a crazy adventure mixed with musical comedy and lots of tight Speedos. Naturally the recent turn of events in Ukraine affected the cast and crew, many of whom were Ukrainian.

A collection in aid of Ukrainian charities will be made at screenings.

Directors Cédric Le Gallo, Maxime Govare | Cast Nicolas Gob, David Baïot, Michaël Abiteboul, Bilal El Atreby
France | 2022 | 113 mins | Print source Park Circus (Universal France)
French with English subtitles.

“The gay water polo team is back with an excellent new comedy set in Russia.” – 20 Minutes

Screening as part of the Screen Horizons programme.
