Porn Film Festival Amsterdam stands for plurality, art, pleasure and community. Our overarching objective is to create an exciting and accessible space for very different bodies and sexualities to come together. We explore desire in all its diversity, addressing urgent questions with a positive and creative attitude.

From February 6 to 9, we celebrate sex with films, workshops, talks, performances, art installations and two parties.

Os Homens Que Eu Tive

During Brazil’s military dictatorship (1964–1985), censorship stifled creative freedom, yet some filmmakers found ways to subvert it. The pornochanchada, a B movie genre, known for its blend of eroticism and comedy, often served as a smokescreen for more daring narratives. The recently rediscovered Os Homens Que Eu Tive is one such remarkable work, disguised as a lighthearted erotic film hiding a bold feminist core.

Written, edited, and directed by Tereza Trautman, the film was censored after just six weeks of screening and later re-released in 1980 under the title ‘Os Homens e Eu’. Its open exploration of female sexuality, free love, and other taboo topics posed a direct challenge to the patriarchal bourgeois ideals of the time, branding it a “moral threat.”
