The Pornfilmfestival Berlin is truly back! For the first time since the beginning of the pandemic, the world’s premiere festival for films about sexuality returns at capacity with a full program with 150 films, its grand party, four prizes for the best films in various categories, workshops and everything else that makes the festival Berlin’s most beloved. On top of the that we’re proud to be presenting our first ever Industry Days, a conference and networking event happening October 27-28 exclusively for members of the adult film industry.

A workshop by Harvey Rabbit

Please note, this workshop is in English.

Date: Wednesday, 2022-10-26, 12:00
Duration: 120 min.
Location: Altes Finanzamt, Schönstedtstraße 7, 12043 Berlin

The workshop is booked out – there are no more tickets available!

Being aware of your boundaries and expressing your consent or non-consent are essential skills in life, but we don’t often get a chance to actually practice consent skills in the same way we practice other skills, like singing, playing sports or learning a language. Through partner games, we will build tools to express and negotiate physical desires and set boundaries through the use of practical exercises. This is a non-sexual workshop, and a great, low pressure situation in which to practice communication and touching. It’s as much about how to truly say yes and mean it as it is about saying no!

Festival accreditations for festival curators, distributors or students can be applied for from June 15 to September 15, 2022.

Due to limited space in the festival cinemas, we can only issue a limited number of accreditations, so the festival cannot consider all requests. Presumably from September 16, 2022, those selected will be notified.

The festival accreditation costs 40 EUR and is valid for all events of the festival except the workshops. The festival reserves a limited number of cinema seats for accredited persons.

This year, for the first time, there is the offer to purchase a combined accreditation, which also gives access to our online short film offer. The online festival will take place directly after the festival from November 1, 2022 to November 14, 2022. A combined accreditation costs 60 EUR.

The online streaming offer can also be purchased individually. There is no limit of viewers there. From October 1, 2022, the day of the online publication of the festival program on the festival website, it will be possible to book a ticket directly for the online offer at PinkLabelTV. More information will be available on our festival website from October 1, 2022.

YOU CAN’T STAY HERE is about a New York City photographer named Rick (played by Guillermo Diaz – Scandal, Weeds, Law & Order: Organized Crime, Party Girl, Stonewall (1995), and upcoming BROS) who witnesses a brutal murder in the Ramble in Central Park in the early 1990s. The police of course are not interested and so begins a dangerous and sexy game of cat and mouse between Rick and Adam, a gay serial killer. Will Rick be Adam’s next victim? Or will he bring Adam’s reign of terror to an end.
