The Shiny Shrimps Strike Back A new gay-themed film The Shiny Shrimps Strike Back - which takes aim at Russian homophobia - will receive its Scottish premiere with special preview screenings at Summerhall Cinema on 8 May with other shows to follow.
The comedy under the Screen Horizons banner follows a similar formula to The Shiny Shrimps, which told the true story of a gay water polo team based in Paris. The 2019 film attracted audiences of nearly 600,000. The follow-up, though set in Russia, was shot mainly in neighbouring Ukraine before the current conflict.
Directors Maxime Govare and Cédric Le Gallo say their aim was to lift the taboo of homosexuality in sport and now they’re turning to even more political topics of state-sponsored homophobia and hate crimes. Little did they imagine the turn of events which has badly affected their cast and crew, a reported 80 of which were Ukrainian.

Rossy de Palma (“Parallel Mothers”), the Spanish star who is known as Pedro Almodovar’s muse, is set to headline “Liberty’s,” a music-filled period drama set at an eccentric cabaret in occupied Paris.
The eight-part series was created and written by Cédric Le Gallo, the co-director of “The Shiny Shrimps,” which world premiered at Cannes’ Directors Fortnight in 2019. The series marks the TV drama debut of Le Gallo, who’s currently wrapped the sequel of “The Shiny Shrimps.”
