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.

Cruising the City
Parties, apps, parks, cinemas, public toilets, darkrooms. All these places and more offer opportunities to check out strangers and make a connection. Many cities are faced with the prospect of being made more enticing by ”cleaning up” the zones where unscripted interactions are created. Enticing for whom? Whether we’re looking for love or just a quick hookup, the unnoticed corners and unrefined edges offer us endless opportunities to push back against the smoothing of urban areas by joining other strangers and actualizing our fantasies together.
