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.

Pissed off and turned on
Ever been shocked by your own fantasies? And then got even more turned on by the shock? Putting your sex drive in the driver's seat might take you places you didn’t know you wanted to go. But why is exceeding your own speed limits so exciting?

Some kinks go beyond the physical pain and pleasure: they play with our psyche and flirt with our fears. This short film selection will be contextualised by psychotherapist Dr. Katie Lee Weille, in a conversation about sex as a place to deal with things that might be hard to face otherwise. Can the erotic erode our fears? And are these kinks controlling us, or does giving into them help us gain control? Digging deep into our own sexual brains might be confronting, but taboos, like cliffs, are tempting things and it can be very insightful to peek over the edge.
