The first annual San Francisco PornFilmFestival debuts as a virtual adult film festival livestream experience!

The inaugural 2020 San Francisco Porn Film Festival will take place August 20th and 21st, streaming live from San Francisco, California.

Responding to “shelter-at-home” measures to prevent the spread of the novel Coronavirus, the festival’s debut has transformed into a virtual celebration of cinema and technology. San Francisco PornFilmFestival’s online premiere will be powered by indie adult film platform PinkLabel.TV.

“If you stream them, they will come…” as filmmakers and porn aficionados from around the world come together (online) to delight in erotic films that champion sexual diversity and artistic ingenuity. The one-of-a-kind event will bring the powerful movies — and the global conversations they spark around sexual morality, body politics, and more — right into the comfort and safety of your own home.

Half a century ago, San Francisco broke ground as the first city in the country to host a public screening of hardcore sex, with the International Erotic Film Festival at the Presidio Theatre. 2020 marks the 50th anniversary, yet topics of sexual rights and free speech are as relevant now as they were in 1970. The festival aims to honor a growing legacy of sexual cinema with a global online audience!

Stay tuned for more information. Programs will be announced July 1st. In the meantime, interested filmmakers may submit their works via FilmFreeway. An early-bird call for submissions will be open through April 30th.

Adult Filmmakers can submit their works via FilmFreeway.com/SFPFF

The San Francisco PornFilmFestival seeks to showcase the creativity and craft of adult-oriented filmmaking from the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. Inspired by numerous adult film events, we want to specifically thank the Berlin PornFilmFestival for its namesake and guidance in forming this new American landmark festival. We embark on this journey to celebrate San Francisco’s vibrant legacy of sex-positive film artists.
