Because of the cinema closures in the past months, we had to cancel all of our scheduled monthly screenings. From July it will be possible again to visit Berlin’s cinemas, according to the current pandemic regulations.

Together with Kino Moviemento we decided to present all screenings that had to be cancelled in the week from July 5^th to 11^th, 2021. Like in the autumn we will open with Berlin episode film “Urban Smut”, in a special screening at Freiluftkino Kreuzberg. All other short film programs will be screened at Kino Moviemento. We hope to be able to welcome some of the filmmakers for the screenings. The two screenings in August and September are confirmed to run as (previously) scheduled.

The programs “Sex Work Porn Shorts” and “In Motion Porn Shorts” will be integrated into the programme of the 16^th Pornfilmfestival Berlin that will take place from October 26^th to 31^st, 2021. All films of our 2020 retrospective “A Virus Knows No Morals – The AIDS Era in Cinema” tilms will be screened again during the festival week in October.

Online tickets for Freiluftkino Kreuzberg are already on sale at http://www.freiluftkino-kreuzberg.de/freiluftkino_kreuzberg_english.php and tickets for Kino Moviemento can be booked online from July 1^st.

We are looking forward to see you in the cinema soon,
Your PFFBerlin team

Our friend Lulu Belliveau asks for support to make her film “Dyke ’88 | San Francisco”:

I am working on Dyke ’88 | San Francisco, a personal memoir of the 1980s before I left the city of my birth and when the dykes ruled. San Francisco lives in my mind as that beautiful, radical, creative, queer place. When AIDS ravaged the City and queer radicals took to the streets.

First step is to make a trailer/teaser to raise funding, no longer than 2 minutes. All footage is logged, audio is synced to video and the interviews transcribed. I am looking for a filmmaker/editor to work with me. Possibly a young queer with energy to burn. I want someone to work with, to collaborate with. I want a filmmaker who knows how to edit. Someone I click with who is interested in my story, the story of San Francisco at the height of a dyke led renaissance, when queers were coming from all over the world to be visibly out and proud. A San Francisco that no longer exists since the tech takeover. Any queries or suggestions, please contact me: lulu.belliveau@gmail.com

Cazzo’s cult classic’s Bonking Berlin Bastard’s soundtrack now available at Berghain-Inhouse-Label A-TON

Back in 2001, ebo hill’s movie Bonking Berlin Bastards was first released with Berlin’s porn film studio Cazzo Film. Twenty years on, the movie’s original soundtrack by AeoX and Rouage aka CNM with 15 tracks is available now for the first time through Berghain’s in-house label A-TON.

Bonking Berlin Bastards has long achieved the status of an underground punk porn classic. Like the Cazzo productions of director Bruce LaBruce, the vision of ebo hill was both ahead of its time and a playful distillation of 90s and early-2000s Berlin Zeitgeist: queer, industrial, hypersexual, exhibitionist and fueled by electronic music. The story is told in large part by the soundtrack, which follows a group of squatters, punks and drag queens as they fuck, party and stumble their way through an empty city at the turn of the millennium.

The soundtrack for the film was produced by improvisational techno trio AeoX and noise / industrial producer Rouage aka CNM (respectively). The music – appropriately pounding industrial, weird techno, noise, ultra stoned ambient, improvised dub and electro – is available now on CD, 2xLP and digital formats.

Join us for this virtual programmer’s meeting where each of us will have 90 seconds to introduce ourselves, speak about our projects, share about the pandemic’s effect on our porn or/and what’s in store for the future.
There’s space for 50 people. But don’t worry, there will be more of these in the future. If you’re put on a waitlist, you’ll be the first to be invited to the next one.

The Pornfilmfestival Berlin is an alternative, independent film festival that focuses on sexuality, politics, feminism and gender issues.

In the last years we wanted to  focus on some issues that are important to us and that we felt don’t have enough representation in sex/erotic film. Or we simply didn’t have enough films submitted that have these themes in focus.

With this call we want to encourage filmmakers to make and to submit films that deal with these issues and initiate 3 new competition sections.

The issues in question are:

Lesbian sex – unlike in the beginning of the festival in the last couple of years the representation of lesbian and dyke desire and sex has decreased in the films that are being submitted to the festival. Lesbian visibility and representation in combination with sex and desire is still important to us and we want to show more of it.

Black, indigenous and people of color as subjects – not objects – of sex and as sexually acting individuals are still very rare even in alternative porn. The festival has always addressed issues like bad clichés and the lack of representation of persons that are BiPoc. But we want more films that show a broader, better and more diverse representation of ethnicity and cultural diversity.

Old, young, all ages, all combinations – age is an issue that is long on the festival agenda but hasn’t really seen a wide representation in the festival films. Therefore we want more films that show sex and desire beyond the age of 50 or 60, films that show age gaps between sex partners that can be more than just a few years, we want to see bodies of all (adult) ages and generational interaction, discussion and appreciation.

We’re excited to announce three new awards that will be presented in the 2021 festival edition, and we call specifically for entries in these categories:

LESBIAN FILM AWARD

BIPOC FILM AWARD

SEX & AGE FILM AWARD

The awards will be endowed with 500 Euro price money.

The films can be max. 20 minutes long and have to be submitted to the festival for the first time! Max. 3 films per film maker.

The film submission is now open until April 30^th, 2021 through our website:
