Faggot (French: Tapette) is a Canadian short drama film, directed by Olivier Perrier and released in 2016.[1]

The film centres on Alex Girard (Robin L'Houmeau), a young junior hockey player in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region of Quebec who is struggling with whether to come out as gay to his teammates.[1]

Perrier, a film student at Concordia University at the time of making the film, won the Emerging Canadian Artist award at the 2017 Inside Out Film and Video Festival.[2]
