From the festival program:

Sex work is slowly becoming more socially acceptable. Maybe you don’t announce it on your CV or at the family party how you finance all or part of your life. But at least in the urban-liberal environment, sex work tends to arouse benevolent curiosity rather than a derogatory sneer. At the same time, sex work is still treated differently from other work, sex workers are restricted and confronted with special requirements. But what is sex work anyway? Who has the right to define what is considered sex work, why, and with what consequences? How are sex work, classism and racism connected? What is whorearchy? Are porn directors just pimps, too? How can porn literacy be promoted? And above all: What kind of social support do sex workers want?

A conversation in English with Jennifer Lyon Bell, Kali Sudhra, Bishop Black and ASMR/hypnosis sex worker, Undine de Rivière.
