Adult film career
At the age of twenty-five Sagat performed in his first adult film under the screen name Azzedine.[1]
After several films with Citébeur as Azzedine, he moved to the USA and, there, shot his first scene for the porn film Arabesque by Raging Stallion Studios[1] using his birth name.
He stayed with Raging Stallion Studios from 2005 to 2006 before becoming an exclusive porn star at Titan Media.
As a pornographic actor, he was both top and bottom and also performed BDSM. He has also appeared in a few bisexual and heterosexual scenes.[citation needed][2]
In October 2011, Sagat directed a two-part porn film series Incubus for TitanMen.[3] In support of the film, TitanMen in November 2011 released, a 33-minute making-of documentary.[4]
In 2017, after having retired for 3 years, Sagat returned to film with the studio Men.com playing Aquaman in a parody of the 2017 movie Justice League.[citation needed]

Both L.A. Zombie and Homme au bain premiered at Locarno International Film Festival in Switzerland in 2010, making François Sagat the only actor with two lead roles featured in two competition entries during the festival.[9] L.A. Zombie was also due to be screened during the Melbourne International Film Festival in Australia but was banned due to a ruling by Australia's Film Classification Board.[8]

The series was photographed by Lukas Wassmann.[15][better source needed] Sagat has also worked with the French fashion label Fade.[13]
Sagat is involved in fashion photoshoots. American fashion photographer Terry Richardson made a military-themed photoshoot of Sagat.[16]
In March 2012, he launched a musical project entitled Hadès with Sylvia Gobbel. The music video debuted in March 2011.[17]
