We are happy to welcome Mahx Capacity at the Pornfilmfestival.

Mahx Capacity is the creative soul of Brooklyn, NY, film studio AORTA Films. Describing themself as a “white, fat, transsexual, non-binary prince of pleasure obsessed with using queer porn as a tool for destabilizing pleasure, fierce vulnerability, and complex humanity,” In the seven short films presented, Mahx will make this very point forcefully and with their usual wit, offering a glimpse into the work of AORTA Films. How is experimental, kinky, queer pornography doing today and where is it going? This 1-million-euro question might be answered in this screening….
