On Tuesday June 17, UGC De Brouck\u00e8re hosts a special avant\u2011premi\u00e8re of Jim Queen<\/strong>, in the presence of the directors. Blending Western aesthetics with a very contemporary queer sensibility, the film revisits the figure of the cowboy through gender\u2011bending, desire and chosen family. KET will be there \u2013 and on our Instagram account, we are giving away 3\u00d72 tickets<\/strong> for the 19:00 screening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Western that swaps macho codes for queer visions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jim Queen takes the familiar codes of the Western \u2013 big skies, landscapes, guns, horses, duels \u2013 and uses them as a playground rather than a prison. Instead of yet another story about lone men solving everything with violence, the film centres characters who bend gender, refuse traditional roles and explore other ways of inhabiting the mythic West.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Costumes, bodies and looks become part of the narrative language: eyeliner under a cowboy hat, painted nails around a gun, long coats that move more like dresses than uniforms. The camera lingers not only on action, but on touch, vulnerability and silent glances that say more than any monologue. It is a Western where the codes are still there, but the power they serve has changed sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
