About Amsterdam Porn Film Festival
Porn Film Festival Amsterdam dives deep into the realms of pleasure, exploring the joyful and political facets of sex. Going beyond conventional perspectives, the festival shakes things up by featuring underground DIY creators alongside established figures from the porn industry. It’s a platform where the unconventional, the marginalised, and the mysterious shine. The festival aims to carve out spaces for engaging encounters, giving room for both intimacy and rebellion. Join us in reclaiming and celebrating our unique and sometimes unconventional expressions of sexuality.
The festival’s guiding principles
From their website:
Plurality
Many have been made invisible by the leading culture. Many others have been objectified by it. Here they take the lead and bring their own desires and legacy to the fore. We provide a stage to assemble these very diverse perspectives and explore together the untold territories of sexuality.
Art
Porn is a film genre and as such it demands artistic value. Cinema illuminates, expands and defies reality with its endless stream of perceptions. We reclaim porn as a field of aesthetic experimentation.
Pleasure
Porn enriches our sex life and helps us explore fantasies. Desire is extremely layered and ambiguous and we need others to know ourselves better. We strive to create an open environment in which shame gives place to playfulness.
Community
We live in a city which, while calling itself tolerant, makes it increasingly hard for many to stay. We believe in the potential of real-life encounters to challenge and reconquer the public space.
