We call for GENDER VARIANTS SEX BOTS to audition for FISTING CLUB EP3, scheduled for production in 2026. FISTING CLUB was first conceived in 2018 as a yearly film series by Shu Lea Cheang with producer Jürgen Brüning. FISTING CLUB appropriates eight rules from Fight Club (1999) and makes fisting sex a self-emancipation act. The act of fisting is transgressed into reciprocal mutual sexual enjoyment, taking us on a
tunnel spin to arrive at the ultimate sexual ecstasy. FISTING CLUB EP1 was launched with Jiz Lee as the lead. Due to Covid confinement, no further episodes were produced. In 2025, we release FISTING CLUB EP2,
bringing together seven 60+ fisting club members. For FISTING CLUB EP3, planning for 2026 production, we call for gender variants sex bots to rewrite the rules, to raise the fist in solidarity with the gender outlaws.

To join this participatory audition performance, please send a brief bio+photos+expression of interests to fistingclub2025@gmail.com.

The audition performance takes place at Adult Industry Forum at Pornfilmfestival Berlin 2025, 18:00-19:00, October 24, 2025.

In October and November, the Moviementon Cinema and the Porn Film Festival Berlin will present two films by Rosa von Praunheim.

“Thirty Years on the Whip” premiered to a sold-out audience at last year’s Porn Film Festival and opens at the Moviemento Cinema on October 16. We’ll be welcoming Lady MacLaine and other cast members, among others, to this event.

The new film “The Satanic Sow”, which had its successful world premiere at this year’s Berlinale, will be shown at the Porn Film Festival on October 25 and 26, 2025. Several actors will be present and can talk about filming with Rosa von Praunheim. Following the festival, the film will be shown in the regular program at the Moviemento Cinema starting November 27, 2025.

Thirty Years on the Whip

DE 2024, 90 Min., dt. OV m. engl. UT

In typical Rosa von Praunheim docu-fiction style, the legendary gay Berlin filmmaker portrays his neighbor, who worked for decades as a professional dominatrix in the Berlin district of Wilmersdorf. While the real Lady MacLaine reflects with wit and honesty on her life and work, this is impressively retold in reenacted scenes. The very bourgeois side that BDSM can have is portrayed just as ruthlessly as the coincidence that led Lady MacLaine to become a dominatrix. Kink in Wilmersdorf is down-to-earth and real in its own special way!

Berlin’s gay film legend Rosa von Praunheim once again graces the PFFB with his bittersweet sarcasm, this time in a biographical essay. In the crude setting of his vintage apartment overcrowded with stuffed animals, Rosa’s alter ego reflects – between desirable young men – on the 150 films of his life. At the same time, explores questions like is there “sex after death”, what God has to say about it, as well as other essential philosophical considerations of age and sexuality. As always, it’s trashy yet intelligent, walking the fine line between bad taste and genius.

Founded in 2006, the Pornfilmfestival Berlin shows films that deal with questions of sexual morality, identities, body norms and moral concepts from all over the world as well as the artistic and alternative approaches to the genre of pornography. The festival takes place in the last week of October and is independent, non-commercial and without public funding. In anticipation of the 20^th edition of the Pornfilmfestival Berlin, we dug deep into our archives to present a selection of the Best Short Film winners from our 20-year history, starting with the very first winner from back in 2006 and tracing the festival up through today. From a personal exploration of the relationship between sex and love to a horny love letter to a certain type of man to hilarious animated sexual awakenings and body modifications of a very different kind, there’s something for everyone in this program. See what has truly made the Pornfilmfestival great over all these years: the films. You can also look forward to a taste of what’s to come in our upcoming anniversary edition as well.

Casting call for the new episode of Fisting Club by Shu Lea Cheang.

After the iconic first episode of Fisting Club, featuring Jiz Lee, Sadie Lune, Manon Praline and many others, Shu Lea Cheang and Jürgen Brüning join forces again to create Fisting Club Ep. 2. This time the focus is on the experiences of older cis gay men over the age of 60. For this reason we are looking for performers who fit this description. We are aiming for a diverse cast – we would love to be able to respresent stories of people of different cultural backgrounds and we encourage applications from BiPOC people.

Fisting Club Ep. 2 will be a short film of maximum 15 minutes. It will be shot in Berlin around the end of April 2025, in two shooting days. All performers will be paid for their participation. Please send your application including a photo to: office@pornfilmfestivalberlin.de, attention Jürgen Brüning
