Uncensored In Lockdown – open call for erotic films

UNCENSORED , Virtual - London
Fri, Jul 31 2020

Seeking sexy, playful, provocative, extravagant and subversive films made in isolation for UNCENSORED's new 2020 festival edition.

 

UNCENSORED Festival

 

UNCENSORED is a multi-day interdisciplinary festival on art at the intersection of pornography and activism that first took place in May 2019 in London, UK. Over three days, it brought together more than 35 artists, sex practitioners and activists from the UK and abroad. The programme consisted of workshops, performances, talks, a party, a roundtable discussion, three film events (including two film premieres), as well as a mixed media exhibition and film screenings selected through an international open call. Blue Artichoke Films was proud  to be a part of this program, as they generously invited me to come teach my creative self-development erotic filmmaking workshop, “From Fantasy to Film: Design your Own Erotic Film.”

 

2020: UNCENSORED In Lockdown

 

For 2020, UNCENSORED Festival is excited to launch an open call for “pornos and erotic movies realized in isolation, open to both amateur and seasoned filmmakers. So grab your phone, get your camera out: come and play and discover the delicious sexual abundant beauty all around you! Let your fantasy flow even solo!”

 

How are you navigating intimacy, sex and desire in isolation?  Have you ever thought of your home as a set for a porno? It’s time to be UNCENSORED and bring our sweetest and dirtiest fantasies to life.
Let’s laugh, lust, feel, play and COME TOGETHER.
Stay home…stay horny… Let’s make it HOT! Explore new erotic narratives… Reinvent and experience the space around you as a temple of pleasure, let your garden become the heaven of sin and transform your veggies into sex toys.

 

What kind of submissions are welcome?

 

  • We welcome submissions that are sexy, playful, provocative, extravagant and subversive
  • We encourage all flavours of desires celebrating different body types and the full spectrum of erotic fantasies
