"There's only one way to overcome temptation - by giving into it!" Acclaimed '70s avant-garde erotic filmmaker Peter de Rome and Hand in Hand Films bring a balanced measure of storyline, emotion, and raunchy sex to this classic gay horror/adult film hybrid, which is simultaneously artful, campy, and haunting.Loosely based on an Edgar Allen Poe story, the film focuses on Caswell Campbell, a priest in training on sabbatical, torn between the call of the cloth and his pent-up lust. Religious repression leads to internal - and physical - fragmentation as Caswell repeatedly glimpses his sexually ravenous doppelganger and is drawn into a bizarre underworld of psychedelic supernatural sex, with rough and kinky action and surreal, stylized scenes abounding. Remastered in 2024 by Bijou Video for the best-looking version available since its initial release.THE DESTROYING ANGEL, director: Peter de Rome, studio: Hand in Hand Films, runtime: 62 minutes, year: 1976, current distributor: Bijou Video

"The sexual freedom of today for most people is really only a convention, an obligation, a social duty, a social anxiety, a necessary feature of the consumer's way of life." - Pier Paolo Pasolini

"If you are going to make a film about sexual revolution, it's best to put your Marxism where your mouth is and make the movie sexually explicit, or even better, pornographic, prioritising praxis over theory." - Bruce LaBruce

THE VISITOR is a British-set reimagining of Pier Paolo Pasolini’s 1968 film TEOREMA. Pasolini’s enigmatic protagonist, known to everyone as “the visitor”, arrives at the house of an upper-class family and seduces each family member one after the other. When he suddenly departs, he leaves behind an emptiness for which the rest attempt to compensate in different ways. In Bruce LaBruce’s THE VISITOR, it is a refugee who washes up in a small suitcase on the banks of the River Thames in London. He is one of several identical-looking men who simultaneously emerge from suitcases in other locations around the city. Dressed in the guise of a homeless man, he arrives at the house of an upper-class family and gets to know the maid. When she passes him off as her nephew, the family invites him to also work for them as a live-in servant. The guest makes love with each of the residents of the house one after the other, depicted in explicit sex scenes. Each member of the household experiences a radical sexual and spiritual transformation. 

 The Seattle Erotica Cinema Society brings world-class erotic films to Seattle audiences throughout the year, inspiring diverse communities to engage in adult conversations about sex. SECS Fest, an annual sex-positive festival celebrating the artistry of erotic cinema, will be held at the Beacon Cinema in Fall 2025!

Join us for a special screening of PRO, a film about the life of a 20-something queer sex worker navigating love, labor and identity (7:11). This night is for queers and sex workers to come together, watch the film, and connect over community, our place and portrayal in the mainstream and talk about it.

After the screening, stick around for an interview hosted by the podcast CRS, where we’ll dive into the film’s themes, the realities behind sex work, and the intention and creative process behind the series.

Enjoy a cozy night with cocktails, mocktails, tamales, and good company. Come as you are, bring your people, and let’s make space for storytelling that matters. $5-$20+ suggested donation NOTAFLOF.
