RAW! UNCUT! VIDEO! is a documentary in post-production about Jack Fritscher’s iconic fetish porn studio, Palm Drive Video. The film explores the importance of kink and sexual cultures during the AIDS crisis in the 1980s and 90s. To date, the project has been entirely funded through community support. We are nearly finished, but are in need of critical funds to complete the editing and post-production (e.g. Editing fees, Sound Mixing, Color Grading). Check out rawuncutvideo.com to learn more and find out how you can help!

Please check the crowdfunding campaign.

The workshops on the 14^th Pornfilmfestival Berlin have been fixed and you can register now.

Jonathan Agassi is one of the most successful gay porn stars in the world. Director Tomer Heymann followed him for eight years, both in his temporary hometown of Berlin and with his mother in Tel Aviv, in his Israeli homeland. Although Jonathan claims he has the best job in the world and says that it actually saved his life, it soon becomes clear that he is not particularly happy. Afflicted by childhood traumas, Jonathan seems casual in the execution of the countless acts of sex with which he earns his living. But he increasingly uses hard drugs to numb his feelings. Finally, he is forced to see the harsh reality of his extreme lifestyle. A rare and intimate look into the world of porn and escorts, as well as the touching portrait of a unique mother-son relationship that redefines familiar family norms.

As supporting film we will show “Pizza Roles” by Danny Tayara & Ari Chivukula (US 2017, 5 minutes, Englisch original version).

Support new project challenging the dominance of toxic, ultra-male stereotypes in porn!

50 years after the liberation of porn in Denmark, two Copenhagen-based communities, Bedside Productions and Morph, represent a new generation of filmmakers connected to the local resurgence of feminist porn.

For ‘All Work No Play’, they will join forces for an ambitious project exploring male sexuality beyond identity. The project is a documentarian experiment in male relations and their potential for eroticism, foregoing the old tropes of porn. Its aim is to create images that inspire new ways of thinking about male sexuality.

Sex-positive filmmaking is incredibly hard to fund. Yet, the production is committed to fair pay for its performers and creating the best cinematic experience for its audience. Your support can therefore make a difference!

We have enough volunteers for 2019 and do not need applications for this year any longer. Many thanks to all for the great support!

Do you feel artists should be paid for their work, especially when there is no institutional funding? Then please support the Athens Festival of Queer Performance! AFoQP is a brand new festival in Athens, aiming to present performance art from the local scene but also from abroad. It is is exclusively funded by self-organised events and an international online fundraising campaign and without corporate sponsorship.

We are interested in exploring any co-existence and dialogue between different disciplines that can form a performance (conceptual art, body art, devised theatre, video art, drag show, musical acts, spoken word etc etc) and their connection with queer, feminist practices and theories, queer communities, individuals and their thematics of interest.
