LONDON PORN FILM FESTIVAL 7-9 APR

headertestv3

We want to be able to see, share and show more sex positive films within our Queer Community!

So, inspired by Berlin Porn Film Festival, some of us involved in Wotever World got together and created London Porn Film Festival. Over the years we always sold out the porn screenings at Wotever DIY Film Festival, and we did about Five very successful Queer Experiments with Queer Porno as a theme, and the latest one was held at Horse Hospital, and they wanted to do more like it as did we, So, time is right, Let’s do this!

Programme

Programme 1: A Thousand Queer Sexualities

Prog-1

Sexuality on film, as much as off it, is so much more than mainstream society gives credence to, harbouring a complexity that can’t be contained in a few set categories. In this programme, we feature films that span a breadth of erotic possibilities, and at the same time subverts them and swerves past the easy answers. From breath play as caress to the deep spirituality of blood play, from giggling dominance to the intoxication of television, this selection of films will educate, inspire and expand your mind as to what sexuality can be. CW: Pain, Blood.  Length 100 mins

Programme 2: Fantastic Voyages

Prog-2

Enough with the gritty realism! This is porn where only the imagination sets the limits, where the settings are worlds fantastically different from our own, bringing in far-fetched tropes of science fiction, comics, action comedy and absurdist circus. What would sex be like between superheroes and supervillains using their superpowers? What about if sexual memories could be hacked into the human brain and used for population control? What would rebellion look like then? Let us bring you on fantastic voyages to places you never thought possible. Length 108 mins

Programme 3: Porn in Art in Porn

Prog-3

How beautiful and overwhelming an art experience can porn be? Visual art has spent centuries skirting the edges of sexuality, hinting and suggesting instead of tackling it head on. But what would happen if that boundary was broken through? What truths lie on the other side, about humanity, politics, bodies and our view of beauty, once the veil of self-censorship is gone? This selection of films expertly melds the language of video art, dance film and live art with queer pornography to break new ground, unstable, sublime, unsettling and refusing to let go. Length 54 min

Programme 4: All Sex is Political

Prog-4

We live in a world where not everyone’s sex is allowed to be equal. A range of intersectional power structures work in tandem to sharply divide sexuality between what is considered normal, versus immoral and pathological. In the UK, harsh, unfair pornography laws are explicitly constructed to exclude a range of queer sexual practices. To challenge this, porn can serve as a critical voice, and this selection of films tackles politics on head-on – strong voices speaking out, in everything from angry lust-challenges to the colonial world order, to giving power to each other in queer communities. Length 75 mins

Programme 5: Kick-Ass Love

Prog-5

Sex is fun! Sex is energy! Sex is mutuality, chemistry, exchange, empowerment! This selection of the festival’s most fabulous and high-octane films shows sexuality that’s anything but boring, a world filled with love, ropes, boxing gloves, glitter, body hair, orgasms, joy and beauty and laughter. From fighting cyberpunk lesbians to inventive threesomes, these films are sure to put a smile on your face and a tingle in your belly. Because everyone should have the opportunity to have a fabulous, powerful and exciting sex life if they want to. Length 88 mins

OUR STATEMENT

The London Porn Film Festival is a new space for people who want to celebrate their sexuality on screen. We welcome filmmakers of every kind, who are exploring sex in all its incarnations. As queer organisers actively challenging narrow definitions of porn, we take our inspiration from the Berlin Porn Film Festival, which has fostered a dynamic space for sex workers, porn performers, porn producers and other creatives to challenge and explore our understanding and enjoyment of sex. And, after several years of sell-out porn screenings at the Wotever DIY Film Festival, the time is right for London to have its own festival and to maintain a strong resistance against the insidious conservative agenda that polices some bodies (and not others) and enforces a sterile, unreflective and often misogynistic notion of what constitutes healthy relationships, love and fucking.

We value porn as an art form that is able to question and challenge the power structures that limit our sexual expression. Radical queer porn has not settled as an art form – it straddles the borders of visual art, performance art, erotica, political activism and many other genres – making it a unique vehicle for presenting new and radical ideas of sexuality. Beyond that, it can influence and re-shape our notions of politics and society. London Porn Film Festival exists as a place to re-learn our notion of porn; to explore, re-imagine, embrace and re-consider the boundaries of filmmaking itself – where sex and filmmaking meet without borders.

We endorse a festival that is wilder, bigger, better (wetter!) and more creative. The time is right – let’s do this!
