FOR FREAKY QUEERS DARLING DEVIANTS & GENTLE FOLK Come watch some gorgeous post-porn with us! The films selected for this screening are centred around the theme of :
PRISON ABOLITION//NURTURANCE CULTURE
What does that mean?
PRISON ABOLITION: the opposite of a system that isolates, punishes and shames as one that occurs in communion and nurturance. We think that reflecting these values in our intimate practices can help create other ways of responding to conflict and abuse within our spaces. So we are screening films centred on:
COMPASSION – COMMUNION – COLLECTIVISM – RECIPROCITY – NURTURANCE – TRUST- HONOURING.
What is Post porn?
In short it was a wave of porn that came about to extend sexual and sensual narratives of what could be considered erotic as well as redefine bodies, fluids and whatever surrounds us. It tends to be freaky, artistic and seeks to carve out space for bodies that are normally pushed aside in intimate practices! It’s about having more control over the creation, about fair work practices and expansion!

>Eros (2min), Evie Snax<
In this epic portrait of trans feminine vibrancy and unadulterated creative expression, playful movement artist and dancer Manon Praline explores intimacy through a vulnerable and moving performance. Captured by Evie Snax and set to an ephemeral score by rising Azaadi pop star Kohinoorgasm, this short solo tease will leave hearts fluttering and open to the undeniable intimacy in this conversation between muse and lens. Baby is a story of queer romance, obsession, radical self acceptance, freedom, and lesbionic vanity.
