The Pornfilmfestival Berlin (PFFB) returns for its 18th edition from October 24-29, 2023. Kino Moviemento and Babylon Kreuzberg will once again form the two venues.

With 24 feature-length films, including seven documentaries, as well as 23 short film programs, the Pornfilmfestival Berlin 2023 celebrates its coming-of-age anniversary! Founded in 2006 as an independent, non-commercial and non-publicly-funded film festival, the PFFB annually presents films around the themes of sexuality, politics, feminism, gender diversity, post-porn and body politics.

The 18th edition will open with Manuel Abramovitch’s Pornomelancholia (2022), in which sex-influencer Lalo posts photos of his naked body and homemade porn videos to thousands of followers on social media. The closing film is A mes amours (2022) by Anoushka. It focuses on Elisa and Samuel, who are enjoying a vacation at their home in the south of France, where they meet Lola, who is researching monogamous relationships.

The screenings of the festival will include feature length films as well as short film programs. The screenings will be mainly held as Moviemento, with some events also happening at Babylon Kreuzberg and other locations.

This Film Festival in Berlin Explores Alternative Sexual Perspectives

Tom of Finland movie

For the most time of the year we shut up about our love for movies showing naked skin, pleasure and lust. But there is one week where this is different and we’re out and proud, unapologetically screaming: I LOVE PORN! It’s the time of the Pornfilmfestival Berlin every year in the fall, showcasing other visual presentations of sex and love that are not degrading, insensitive or only representing one niche of the sexual spectrum. It’s the one week a year we can hardly wait for – a whole week fueled with films, panels, readings and performances that explore sexual perspectives outside of social norms, construed identities and morals.

Pornfilmfestival Berlin – Happy Ending Guaranteed

Pornfilmfestival Berlin – Happy Ending Guaranteed

ALFA / Ich – Ein Groupie

‘Tis the season! Once a year, Berlin becomes the host for a film festival of a different kind. So all of you sexy people, sex lovers and kinky minds beware. While the Venus Sex Fair focuses on the kind of Porn that is rather sexist, the Porn Film Festival offers an alternative to normative stereotypes. In Germany’s oldest cinema, the Moviemento, they show serious documentaries about the work and life in the sex industry. They show movies with a more humorous approach to sex, with conceptual aesthetics and extraordinary stories. Pornographic films can be more than mainstream. The ones shown during this festival are all about authentic lust, sexy non-normative bodies, queer sex and erotic encounters between emancipated individuals with empowering narratives.

There are stories about fetishes, about homosexual pleasure and intimacy as well as short movies about the lives of refugees. Sexual assault and trauma are another aspect of sexuality that the festival also addresses. Wherever there is sex there is also issues of power and dominance. Where there is intimacy there can be pain and it is especially significant how this film festival gives a holistic view on sexuality with all its extremes. The dark ones as well as the euphoric ones. Besides showing movies the festival also offers a great range of events all focusing on sex, porn and politics. There are workshops, panels, readings and performances. Get a first glimpse here.

Winter is cumming! No, that is not a porn-spoof of Games of Thrones. It’s actually the hardcore reality we poor tortured souls living in Berlin are facing right now. But there is comfort waiting for us. Every Autumn we are blessed with the so-called “Sex Week” its main event being the biggest sex fair in Germany called Venus which happened over the past weekend. This is not really something that we would seriously send you guys to. There is another alternative highlight you should check out if you are interested in sexuality as a form of creative expression. The Pornfilmfestival Berlin is happing every your in the end of October with a program more diverse and colorful than ever. From intellectual documentary about historical porn makers, intense feature films and a fun collection of short films there is quite a lot of stuff to discover and to get inspired/aroused by. What I really like about this festival is that it presents a good mix of international filmmakers and also local Berlin talents. A few trailers to give you an impression right after the jump.

The Sexfluencers of Berlin: Meet 10 Influencers Fighting Censorship

The Sexfluencers of Berlin: Meet 10 Influencers Fighting Censorship

by Andy | People

These ten women and men aren’t afraid to expose their naked bodies to fight against stigmas around sex, gender, and sexual orientation.

It’s a struggle for freedom of expression on a slippery slope. With their work these brave ten blur the lines of art, pornography, sex work, political activism, or what’s considered “professional” work. They face the dangers that come with the openly sexual nature of their work or digital persona. Their explicit representation on and offline is not a green card to sexual consent, what sounds like a no-brainer is something many people do not understand. “I’ve found myself in some very dangerous, and uncomfortable situations,” our cover model Sam Morris told Gay Times, “I have been sexually blackmailed, assaulted, verbally harassed, and raped. These situations have involved photographers, prolific magazine editors, and other gay men I’ve met along the way.” Physical harassment, slut-shaming, and tensions in personal relationships are something all of them have encountered but they found ways to deal with these situations. For erotic filmmaker and performer Anarella Martínez-Madrid, it’s as simple as this: “If being a slut means being able to enjoy your sexual life, and get to know yourself better, then I am a slut”.

Berlin is many things, but undeniably, Berlin is pretty damn gay. The capital is so famous as a vibrating LGBTQ hotspot with countless bars, clubs, parties, different places, different styles, scenes and people that it can all become pretty confusing. You have something for everyone here, and that can be a bit overwhelming at times. So, we put together a little list of places a Berlin gay should know.

A Sexual Liberation

A Sexual Liberation

Out there in the world, Germany, and Berlin in particular, have a reputation of being sexually liberal places. Nudist beaches, sex parties, uncensored breasts on television, experimental sex practices, acceptance towards various sexual orientations and identities. You get the general idea. We Berliners are wild, excessive, and constantly horny – well, at least in the eyes of the rest of the world.

As a Berlin resident and German citizen I would never say that Germans are particularly naughty or more sex-crazy than other nations, nor did I have the impression that Berlin is sexually more open than other cities in Europe. Yes, maybe we have a few sex clubs more than other cities, but I doubt that there aren’t any places like that in the rest of the world. They might just be more behind closed doors and less publicly advertised. Here sex was always there: swingers clubs, dark rooms, fetish parties. But it was almost an alternative scene from my perspective, you could only see it if you knew where to look. It was the underground. But this is changing.

Now there is sex positivity, body positivity, feminist porn, and you could say a general awaking in the society from the bad dream that sex is something to be ashamed of and to keep in private. People are embracing sex more and with it, their own bodies and desires. Isn’t this something we should all strive for? read more…

Porn Film Festival Berlin – Holy Tits and Fucking Trailers

Porn Film Festival Berlin – Holy Tits and Fucking Trailers

by Claudio | Movies, Videos

When we call that one week, when all the fashion events and fairs take place, Fashion Week, and the week with all the art fairs and exhibition Art Week, shouldn’t we also call the week when the sex fair Venus with all its satellite events is happening the Berlin Sex Week? It would make a lot of sense, right? But why doesn’t anybody call it that way? I definitely have talk to the new major about this issue.
Anyway, there is one event during that week that we don’t consider extremely sexist and inappropriate and that is the Porn Film Festival – a quite alternative cinematic view on porn that focuses on sexual experiences that empower individuals to make their own decisions and choices free of social stigma. Our friends from Pornceptual have been part of it with their movies that explore diverse representations of sexuality in artwork that intersects with pornography. Apart from some really hot movies the festival also shows some really serious documentaries featuring the life of sex workers. But where there is good porn, humor is not too far away. So expect to laugh your ass off at some of the movies. The Porn Film Festival Berlin takes place once a year in the Fall. After the jump you find the trailers of movies that have been shown at the festival. Have fun!

Let’s watch some Porn!?

Let’s watch some Porn!?

When I went to the Berlin Porn Film Festival for the first time a couple of years ago I was nervous. Of course I pretended to be super cool and calm, but when I walked into the Moviemento I did have a bit of a weird feeling and wasn’t sure what to expect.

It didn’t help that everyone in the cinema seemed to know each other and the bar was dark and red, but I fought my way to a seat and actually really enjoyed the documentary I saw. It was a film by Rosa von Praunheim, and until today I have not made it to a public porn film screening but who knows, this might be the week that changes…
