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.

SEX... IN THE CITY?
A main focus of the inaugural Porn Film Festival Amsterdam is to engage in a dialogue with the city. Specifically, in this segment, the aim is to explore the concept of the city as a space for sexual freedom. How are sex and freedom taking place under blatant gentrification? Amsterdam is facing a housing crisis that affects many people. But when gentrification affects sex workers in the historic Red Light District, it happens as part of a moralistic project that wants sex to be marginalised from society. This  selection of films places sex in the city to contest patriarchy, capitalism, colonialism, and the police brutality that shields them all. 

After the films, we will have a conversation with local activists and sex workers fighting against the gentrification of the Red Light District, and the project of marginalizing sex work even more through the construction of a centre for prostitution on the outskirts of Amsterdam.
