Featured films span classics to contemporary, including Fred Halsted’s 1974 “L.A. Plays Itself” to kick off the Online Opening Film Showcase. Gene Graham’s contemporary documentary on Black America through the the underground world of exotic dancing in “This One’s For the Ladies” shines as the festival’s Closing Night Film. Join us at Pop’s Bar for the After Party!

The vibrant and sex-positive history of Bay Area is showcased through selections including “Submission Possible: San Francisco,” in which erotic artist Madison Young reunites with the vibrant chosen family and community of sexual luminaries, misfits, artists, kinksters, and activists such as Annie Sprinkle, Elizabeth Stephens, Midori, and Cleo DuBois. “Raw! Uncut! Video!” chronicles the rise and fall of homegrown gay porn studio Palm Drive Video, and explores how a devoted couple helped battle a devastating health crisis by promoting kinky sex. Contemporary Bay Area works include “Chaac and Yum” by filmmaker Roberto Fatal and performers Xav S-F and Snowflake Calvert (Daniel Arizmendi), “L’Ingrediente Principale” by Isis Tatiana Hockenos and Haley Myer, “East Bay Brats 4” by the East Bay Brats, “Transform” by Domina Mara, and “Eternal Flame” by collaborative duo BeyonDeep. Organizers were thrilled to see an increase in submissions by Bay Area filmmakers.

A collection of over 70 titles span experimental to documentary genres, each pushing the definitions of film that explores topics of sexuality.
