LESBIAN GAY TRANS QUEER FEMINIST PORN CINEMA

This year we are presenting you again with our lesbian gay trans* queer feminist porn cinema. We watch very different erotic short films together: sometimes loud or quiet, sometimes crazy or realistic, sometimes humorous or hard, but always self-determined, sensual and searching. 

Before each film, we give an overview of the content so that you know roughly what to expect and maybe you can close your eyes for a moment or leave the room. We look forward to a porny evening with you! Entry from 18 years.

Speed and commercialization have taken hold of our lives and also our loves.
In addition to professional self-marketing, the pressure for sexual profiling is also increasing. But what can an approach to one’s own sexuality and to one’s own self look like when we are bombarded with standardized digital offers and floods of images? How can slow porn or slow sex allow viewers to come to themselves in a sustainable way? Can feminist approaches deconstruct sex, gender and bodies and give space for their own development? All this will be discussed by the award-winning filmmakers:

Jamal Phoenix, Porn Performer & Sexworker (France)
Popo Fan, Filmmaker (China)
Èri Sarmet, Queer Author (Brazil)

Moderation: Laura Méritt, Initiator & Sexologist (D)
Translation: Janina Rook, Author & Producer

The event will be held in english with German translation.

Consciousness Raising in Feminist Pornography

Consciousness Raising in Feminist Pornography

CR- or consciousness raising is a core element of feminist politics, especially the work and the exchange in the group has a consciousness raising effect. But how can we encourage more discussion about pornography and research on the effects of feminist pornography in particular? What findings already exist and what characterizes this “alternative” pornography and its consumers? How can bodies be decolonized and also cultural stereotypes deconstructed?
After a short input by Prof. Mari Mikkola, our awarded filmmaker Eri Sarmet (BRA) and POPO Fan (CHN/D) will discuss their work and working methods.

Prof. Dr. Mari Mikkola is a Professor of Philosophy and Chair of Metaphysics at the University of Amsterdam. They wrote Pornography. A Philosophical Introduction (2019) and Beyond Speech: Pornography and Analytic Feminist Philosophy. (2017) and focuses on feminist topics.
